Answer:
6844.5 m/s.
Explanation:
To get the speed of the satellite, the centripetal force on it must be enough to change its direction. This therefore means that the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force.
Formula for centripetal force is;
F_c = mv²/r
Formula for gravitational force is:
F_g = GmM/r²
Thus;
mv²/r = GmM/r²
m is the mass of the satellite and M is mass of the earth.
Making v the subject, we have;
v = √(GM/r)
We are given;
G = 6.67 × 10^(-11) m/kg²
M = 5.97 × 10^(24) kg
r = 8500 km = 8500000
Thus;
v = √((6.67 × 10^(-11) × (5.97 × 10^(24)) /8500000) = 6844.5 m/s.
Answer:
Centripetal acceleration is defined as the property of the motion of an object, traversing a circular path. Any object that is moving in a circle and has an acceleration vector pointed towards the center of that circle is known as Centripetal acceleration. ... Centripetal means towards the center.
