Answer:
a
The orbital speed is
b
The escape velocity of the rocket is
Explanation:
Generally angular velocity is mathematically represented as
Where T is the period which is given as 1.6 days =
Substituting the value
At the point when the rocket is on a circular orbit
The gravitational force = centripetal force and this can be mathematically represented as
Where G is the universal gravitational constant with a value
M is the mass of the earth with a constant value of
r is the distance between earth and circular orbit where the rocke is found
Making r the subject
The orbital speed is represented mathematically as
Substituting value
The escape velocity is mathematically represented as
Substituting values
