A satellite is placed in orbit 6.00 × 105 m above the surface of Jupiter. Jupiter has a mass of 1.90 × 1027 kg and a radius of 7.14 × 107 m. Find the orbital speed of the satellite.

Kepler's 1st law states the sum of the distances between each foci and any point on the ellipse is constant.
At its closest approach, a moon comes within 200,000 km of the planet it orbits. At that point, the moon is 300,000 km from the other focus of its orbit, f 2. The planet is focus f 1 of the moon’s elliptical orbit. How far is the moon from the planet when it is 260,000 km from f 2?

Kepler's 3rd law states the square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the radius of the orbit.a3=kT2 where k is a constant for a body that is being orbitedSo if two bodies orbiting the same larger body: a13/T12 = a23/T2
Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has a mean orbital radius of 1.22x109 m. The orbital period of Titan is 15.95 days. Hyperion, another moon of Saturn, orbits at a mean radius of 1.48x109 m. Use Kepler’s third law of planetary motion to predict the orbital period of Hyperion in days.
