Question

find the tangential velocity of a satellite in an orbit at 500 km above the surface of Earth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Orbital velocity is the velocity needed to achieve balance between gravity's pull on the satellite and the inertia of the satellite's motion -- the satellite's tendency to keep going. This is approximately 17,000 mph (27,359 kph) at an altitude of 150 miles (242 kilometers).

Explanation:

At what distance above Earth would a satellite?

At this distance, a satellite above the Equator will be stationary in relation to the Earth. The geostationary orbit of 36,000 km from the Earth's Equator is best known for its many satellites which are used for various forms of telecommunication, including television.
