Question

Let G be the universal gravitational constant and m_{D} be the mass of the planet a satellite is orbiting. Which equation could be used to find the velocity of the satellite if it is placed in a geostationary orbit? (1 point) v = sqrt((G*m_{p})/(15.522km)); v = sqrt((G*m_{p})/(7, 324km)); v = sqrt((G*m_{p})/(48, 115km)); v = sqrt((G*m_{p})/(42.164km))

Answer 1

The equation that could be used to find the velocity of the satellite if it is placed in a geostationary orbit is:

v = sqrt((G*m_{p})/(42.164km))
