This question involves the concepts of orbital velocity and orbital radius.
The orbital velocity of ISS must be "7660.25 m/s".
The orbital velocity of the ISS can be given by the following formula:
where,
v = orbital velocity = ?
G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²
M = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg
R = orbital radius = radius of earth + altitude = 63.78 x 10⁵ m + 4.08 x 10⁵ m
R = 67.86 x 10⁵ m
Therefore,
<u>v = 7660.25 m/s</u>

The time elapsed is 9 seconds
Explanation:
The motion of the ball is a uniformly accelerated motion (a motion with constant acceleration), so we can use the following suvat equation:
where :
v is the final velocity of the ball
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time elapsed
For the ball in this problem, we have:
u = 3 m/s is the initial velocity
v = 34.5 m/s is the final velocity
is the acceleration
Solving for t, we find the time taken for this change in velocity:
