This web page is an interactive physics problem on orbits and periods. The user is given an initial orbit, and asked to determine the new distance and velocity of the orbit if the period is doubled. The attached simulation graphically displays the two orbits. This item is part of a collection of similar simulation-based activities developed for students of introductory physics.
