    This physics document contains 7 questions asking about Kepler's laws of planetary motion, the density and gravity of Earth, how gravity varies with height, the orbital period of Jupiter, the time period of satellites revolving around Earth, escape velocity from Earth's surface, and the kinetic, potential, and total energy of a satellite in circular orbit around Earth. Students are to answer the 2 mark questions with short responses and mathematical expressions, 3 mark questions with slightly longer explanations, and the 5 mark question with a multi-step calculation.
