AP Gravity Equations
Everyone should be able to manipulate the equations relating force to mass of a satellite and central mass ( such as planet and sun or moon and planet) and those governing centripetal force so that any one missing quantity can be found. There should be no problem finding any quantity in these equations provided enough of the other quantities are given. Please remember that the M in Ma is for the object that is accelerating, not the object causing the acceleration.
