Orbits Why don't satellites just fall down? ... The force F of gravity between two objects of mass m and M, whose centres are a distance r apart, is given by Newton's famous equation: F= where G = 6.67в10-11 N m2 kg-2, and F is measured in Newtons. ... When an object of mass m moves in a circular path of radius r at a velocity v, it will experience an outward centrifugal force given by the equation: mv F= r 2 For a satellite to stay in orbit, this centrifugal force must balance gravity. ...

... A lightweight stick with two balls of equal weight at its end obviously has its CG in the middle. When one ball is twice the weight of the other, the CG divides the distance between them by a ratio 1:2, in a way that makes it closer to the heavier mass ( see figure ). ... Even though the balls are separate, one can speak of their common center of gravity, on the line connecting their centers, 1/3 of the distance from the center of the heavier ball. ...

In order to measure the density of the Universe, it is necessary to sample a region that is larger than the scale on which the Universe becomes approximately homogeneous. ... When applied to clusters of galaxies we find a mass to luminosity ratio that implies a density of the Universe that is about 0.3 times the critical density. ... Thus the mass-to-muinosity ratio appears to vary with the size of the region measured, from 3 in the solar neighborhood to 30 in galaxies to 300 in clusters of galaxies. ...
