What should be the speed of an artificial satellite moving on a circular orbit around the Earth at a distance of 400 km from the surface of the Earth? Express your answer in km/ sec and also miles per hour. This exercise tells you that objects in space are typically moving very fast and gives you an idea of why the impact of a meteorite or comet on Earth can cause extinction level events.

Consider a satellite of mass m moving in a circular orbit around the Earth at a constant speed v and at an altitude h above the Earth's surface as illustrated in the figure. (a) Determine the speed of the satellite in terms of G, h, Re (the radius of the Earth), and Me (the mass of the Earth). (b) If the satellite is to be geosynchronous (that is, appearing to remain over a fixed position on the Earth), how fast...
