Textbook Question

Communications satellites are placed in circular orbits where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth rotates. These are called geosynchronous orbits. The altitude of a geosynchronous orbit is 3.58 x 10^7 m (approximately 22,00 miles) . Astronomical data are inside the back cover of the book (a) What is the period of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?

Textbook Question

Two satellites are in circular orbits around a planet that has radius 9.00 * 10^6 m. One satellite has mass 68.0 kg, orbital radius 7.00 * 10^7 m, and orbital speed 4800 m/s. The second satellite has mass 84.0 kg and orbital radius 3.00 * 10^7 m. What is the orbital speed of this second satellite?
