Question

An astronaut orbiting the Earth is preparing to dock with a Westar VI satellite. The satellite is in a circular orbit 500 km above the Earth's surface, where the free-fall acceleration is 8.14 m/s2. Take the radius of the Earth as 6400 km. Determine the speed of the satellite. m/s Determine the time interval required to complete one orbit around the Earth, which is the period of the satellite. min
