Based on the calculations, the speed required for this satellite to stay in orbit is equal to 1.8 × 10³ m/s.
<u>Given the following data:</u>
- Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m/kg²
- Mass of Moon = 7.36 × 10²² kg
- Distance, r = 4.2 × 10⁶ m.
<h3>How to determine the speed of this satellite?</h3>
In order to determine the speed of this satellite to stay in orbit, the centripetal force acting on it must be sufficient to change its direction.
This ultimately implies that, the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force as shown below:
Fc = Fg
mv²/r = GmM/r²
<u>Where:</u>
- m is the mass of the satellite.
Making v the subject of formula, we have;
v = √(GM/r)
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
v = √(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 7.36 × 10²²/4.2 × 10⁶)
v = √(1,168,838.095)
v = 1,081.13 m/s.
Speed, v = 1.8 × 10³ m/s.

Answer:If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,
then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of
these things to happen.
Once in a while, there may be a group of forces (two or more) acting on
an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced". When
that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed
is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line. In that case, it's not
possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it
