Answer:
The orbital speed can be found using v = SQRT(G*M/R). The R value (radius of orbit) is the earth's radius plus the height above the earth - in this case, 6.59 x 106 m. Substituting and solving yields a speed of 7780 m/s.

Answer: F(acceleration)=F(gravitational)
v=√(2GM)/r where m is mass of planet and r is radius of planet
Explanation:
We know in an orbit the force experienced by the satellite is equal to the centripetal force, there fore the minimum velocity can be found by equating them both.
