Two satellites orbit the Earth in circular orbits of the same radius. One satellite is twice as massive as the other. Which statement is true about the speeds of these satellites?

(a) The heavier satellite moves twice as fast as the lighter one.

(b) The two satellites have the same speed.

(c) The lighter satellite moves twice as fast as the heavier one.

(d) The ratio of their speeds depends on the orbital radius.

Communications satellites are placed in a circular orbit where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth rotates. These are geosynchronous orbits. The radius of the earth is 6.37 x 106 m and the altitude of the synchronous orbit is 3.58 x 107 m.  What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?
