Six artificial satellites circle a space station at constant speed. The mass mm of each satellite, distance LL from the space station, and the speed vv of each satellite are listed below. The satellites fire rockets that provide the force needed to maintain a circular orbit around the space station. The gravitational force is negligible. 1. m = 200 kg, L = 5000 m, v = 120 m/s
2. m = 800 kg, L = 10,000 m, v = 40m/s
3. m = 400 kg, L = 2500 m, v = 80m/s
4. m = 100 kg, L = 2500 m, v = 160m/s
5. m = 300 kg, L = 10,000 m, v = 80 m/s
6. m = 200 kg, L = 5000 m, v = 160 m/s

a. Rank each satellite from largest to smallest based on its period.
b. Rank each satellite from largest to smallest based on its acceleration.
