Question

Can you calculate the orbital velocity of a satellite orbiting at an altitude of 500 km?

Data: G = 6.673 × 10-11 SI units;

M = 5.972 × 1024 kg;

R = 6371000 m;

h = 500000 m.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{6.67 \times {10}^{ - 11 } \times 5.972 \times {10}^{24} }{6371000 + 500000} }$

$∴ v = 7613 \: {ms}^{ - 1} \: or \: 7.613 \: \: {kms}^{ - 1}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{6.67 \times {10}^{ - 11 } \times 5.972 \times {10}^{24} }{6371000 + 500000} }$

$∴ v = 7613 \: {ms}^{ - 1} \: or \: 7.613 \: \: {kms}^{ - 1}$
