Question

A satellite moves around the earth in a circular orbit at a height of 6,000 km. Find its speed.

Responses

20 km/s

20 km per s

6 km/s

6 km per s

4 km/s

4 km per s

5 km/s

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

After calculating, we find that the speed of the satellite is approximately 7.12 km/s. This is the speed required for the satellite to maintain a stable circular orbit at a height of 6000 km above the Earth’s surface. Please note that this is an idealized calculation and actual conditions may vary.
