Question
NASA wants to launch a new satellite that will remain ina circular orbit 300km above the surface of the earth . Determine the orbital speed necessary fhe satellite to remain in this orbit if the mass of the earth is 5.97*10^24 and its radius is 6.38*10^6 meters NASA wants to launch a new satellite that will remain ina circular orbit 300km above the surface of the earth . Determine the orbital speed necessary fhe satellite to remain in this orbit if the mass of the earth is 5.97*10^24 and its radius is 6.38*10^6 metersExplanation / Answer
apply orbital speed Vo = sqrt(GM/R)
Vo = sqrt(6.67e-11* 5.97e24/(6380000+300000)
Vo = 7.72 Km/s
