Answer:
No, they are not able to make this calculation
Step-by-step explanation:
Acceleration Equation of satellite:
g = (G • Mcentral)/R2 ..............(1)
Acceleration equation of a satellite in circular motion:
a=(G • Mcentral)/R2...................(2)
Newton's form of Kepler's third law .
The period of a satellite (T) and the mean distance from the central body (R) are related by the following equation:
=4×
/G×
.............(3)
T= the period of the satellite
R= The average radius of orbit for the satellite
G=6.673 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2.
According to all these three equations(1)(2)(3)
The period, speed and the acceleration of an orbiting satellite are independent upon the mass of the satellite.
