The speed of the satellite moving in a stable circular orbit about the Earth is 5,916.36 m/s.

<h3>Speed of the satellite</h3>

v = √GM/r

where;

M is mass of Earth
G is universal gravitation constant
r is distance from center of Earth = Radius of earth + 4930 km

v = √[(6.626 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴) / ((6371 + 4930) x 10³)]

v = 5,916.36 m/s

Thus, the speed of the satellite moving in a stable circular orbit about the Earth is 5,916.36 m/s.

Mila [183]

We can substitute the given values into the equation for T, given the surrounding temperature T0 = 0, initial temperature T1 = 140, constant k = -0.0815, and time t = 15 minutes.

T = 0 + (140 - 0)e^(-0.0815*15) = 140e^(-1.2225) = 41.23°F
