Given the equation for the Speed of a Satellite
v = SqRt{Gravitational Constant}{Mass of Earth} divided by the radius given in your problem
we have:
(square root whole term on right side)
v = G Me
———
r
so. (6.67x10^-11)(5.97x10^24)
___________________
(8.0x10^6)
v = 7055 m/s (which is reasonable)
so utilize the Kinetic Energy Formula
KE = 1/2mv^2
KE = 1/2(200)(7055)^2
KE = 4.977x10^9 J
This is the same question as the one previously but with more details, so I will just use my previous answer.
1800 to 1820 is 20 minutes.1830 to 1838 is 8 minutes.1840 to 1905 is 25 minutes.
The total time travelled is 20+8+25 = 53 minutes = 3180 seconds.
The distance between Glasgow and Edinburgh is 28 + 12 + 34 = 74 km = 74000 m.
So, the average speed is 74000m/3180s = 23.27 m/s (4 s.f.)
