It is given that the satellite is at the altitude () of from the moon's surface and the radius () of the Moon
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The velocity () of the satellite is given by
.... (1)
Since the satellite is bounded by the moon's gravitational force which is being balance by the centripetal force, so
is the mass of satellite
mass of the moon and is the universal gravitational constant
On solving the above eq. for , we get
.... (2)
On combining the eq. (1) and (2), we get
