Let G be the universal gravitational constant and mp 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)
Responses

v=Gmp(7,324 km)−−−−−−−√v=Gmp(7,324 km)−−−−−−−√

v=Gmp(15,522 km)−−−−−−−−√v=Gmp(15,522 km)−−−−−−−−√

v=Gmp(42,164 km)−−−−−−−−√v=Gmp(42,164 km)−−−−−−−−√

v=Gmp(48,115 km)−−−−−−−−√
