PLEASE HELP ANSWER THIS QUESTION ! 1) A communications satellite orbits around Earth. Earth has a radius of 6380 km, and the satellite orbits 1140 km above Earth's surface. The satellite has a mass of 915 kg, and moves with a velocity of 7280 m/s. Based on this information, what is the centripetal force exerted on the satellite?

idk maybe something

Explanation:

false br

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
