hey guys

i have an physics assessment week 4 and im kinda confused as what to do.
I have dont lots og research on thi topic but i still dont know what to do.

this is the overview of my assesment : this task will involve the wrok of newton and kepler on orbiting bodies. it will reguire you to graph orbital information which you will calculate from data about certain moons of jupiter. From the graph, and other information, you will determine the value og G, the universal gravitational constant.

*explains events in terms of newtons laws
*define newtons law of universal gravitation
*define the term orbital velocity and the quantitative and qualitative relatioship between orbital velocity, the gravitational constant,mass of the central body, mass of satelite and the radius of orbit usinf kepler's law of periods

please help me with this. iv done lots of reasearch but i still dont understand how im going to determine G and the other bits im really confused with.


HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!! :D
