A satellite is in a circular orbit 7900 km above the earths


A satellite is in a circular orbit 7900 km above the Earth's surface; i.e., it moves on a circular path under the influence of nothing but the Earth's gravity.

Find the speed of the satellite. The radius of the Earth is 6.37 x 10^6 m, and the acceleration of gravity at the satellite's altitude is 1.95951 m/s^2. (Answer in units of km/s)

Find the time it take to complete one orbit around the earth. (Answer in units of s)
