Answer:
The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.
Explanation:
Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.
Notice that the vector v and its x and y-components (vx and vy) form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to find the magnitude of vx, the horizontal component of the velocity.
To find vx, let´s use the following trigonometric rule of right triangles:
cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos 5.7° = vx / 22 m/s
22 m/s · cos 5.7° = vx
vx = 21.9 m/s
The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

Explanation:
Expression for times period of a satellite can be given as follows
Time period T = 1.8 x 60 x 60
= 6480
T² = where T is time period , r is radius of orbit , G is gravitational constant and M is mass of the satellite.
6480² = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / GM
GM = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / 6480²
= 3.96 X 10¹⁴
Expression for acceleration due to gravity
g = GM / R² where R is radius of satellite
20 = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / R²
R² = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / 20
= 1.98 x 10¹³ m
R= 4.45 x 10⁶ m
