Exam points

  • calculate or compare circular-orbit kinetic energy from radius using gravity as centripetal force
  • relate escape speed at a given radius to the corresponding circular-orbit speed
  • compare speed, potential energy and angular momentum at positions in an elliptical two-body orbit
  • distinguish the mechanical energy of one orbiting body from that of the complete two-body system
