A 600 kg satellite is in a circular orbit about the earth at a height above earth equal to earth's mean radius. Find the satellite's orbital speed?Ā
Calculate the height from the Earth's surface that a satellite must attain in order to be in geosynchronous orbit and the satellite's velocity?
A geosynchronous orbit is one in which the satellite remains "in place" above the same spot on the Earth's surface.
