A satellite travels with constant speed v in a circular orbit 320 km above the earth’s surface. Calculate v knowing that the acceleration of the satellite is the gravitational acceleration at its altitude. (Note: Review Art. 1/5 as necessary and use the mean value of g and the mean value of the earth’s radius. Also recognize that v is the magnitude of the velocity of the satellite with respect to the center of the earth.)
