Determine a vector expression for the position of a particle whose velocity is (3t^2 - 8)i + 5j m/s.
r(t) = [integral] v(t) dt
= (t^3 - 8t + C)i + (5t + C)j m

Show that the orbital period of a satellite is given by T^2=(4pi^2r^3)/(GM) where r is the orbital radius, G is the gravitational constant and M is the mass of the Earth. Then find the orbital radius of a geostationary satellite.
Sphere A (mass m), moving with speed 3v, collides with sphere B (mass 2m) which is moving in the opposite direction with speed v. The two spheres then combine, calculate the resulting velocity of the combined spheres.
