Satellite a has twice the mass of satellite b, and moves at the same orbital distance from earth as satellite b. compare the speeds of the two satellites.

Predict/Calculate Satellite A has a mass of 1000 $\mathrm{kg}$ and satellite $\mathrm{B}$ has a mass of 2000 $\mathrm{kg}$ . (a) When each satellite orbits at one Earth radius above the surface of the Earth, will the period of satellite $\mathrm{B}$ be longer, shorter, or the same as the period of satellite A? (b) Calculate the orbital periods of satellites A and B.
The period of a satellite's orbit depends on (a) its mass; (b) the radius of the planet it's orbiting; (c) the planet's mass; (d) all three factors (a), (b), and (c).
