Use the drop-down menus to match each formula to the satellite motion characteristic it is used to solve.

ac = StartFraction v Superscript 2 Baseline over r EndFraction


Fc = StartFraction m times v Superscript 2 Baseline over r EndFraction
v = StartFraction 2 pi r over T EndFraction

- ac = v² / r → Centripetal acceleration (acceleration toward the center of the orbit)
- Fc = m v² / r → Centripetal force (the net/required force keeping the satellite in circular motion)
- v = 2π r / T → Orbital (tangential) speed (linear speed given the orbital radius and period)
