Asatellite with a mass of 5.6 e 5 kg is orbiting the earth in a circular path. determine the satellite's velocity if it is orbiting at a distance of 6.8 e 5 m above the earth's surface. earth's mass = 5.98 e 24 kg; earth's radius = 6.357 e 6 m.
a) 6,800 m/s
b) 7,200 m/s
c) 7,500 m/s
d) 7,900 m/s

C) 7,500 m/s

Explanation:

The satellite's acceleration due to gravity equals its centripetal acceleration.

v² / r = GM / r²

Solving for velocity:

v² = GM / r

v = √(GM / r)

Given:

G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²

M = 5.98×10²⁴ kg

r = 6.357×10⁶ m + 6.8×10⁵ m = 7.037×10⁶ m

Substituting the values:

v = √(6.67×10⁻¹¹ × 5.98×10²⁴ / 7.037×10⁶)

v = √(5.67×10⁷)

v = 7500 m/s

howdy howdy!

i'd say it would be galileo!

low freq = 100 mhz

low wavelength =101.7m

length = 3x10^8/freq
