Answer:
Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s
Explanation:
Given:
Force F = 3,000N
Mass of satellite m = 500 kg
Mass of earth M = 5.97 × 10²⁴
Gravitational force G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹
Find:
Speed of the satellite.
Computation:
Radius r = √[GMm / F]
Radius r = √[(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )(5.97 × 10²⁴)(500) / (3,000)
Radius r = 8.146 × 10⁶ m
Speed of the satellite V = √rF / m
Speed of the satellite V = √(8.146 × 10⁶)(3,000) / 500
Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s
