First you must find the Force of Gravity usin5g Fg=Gm1/r^2 G=6.67E-11 m1= mass of the earth: 5.9736E24 r= (radius of earth plus the radius of sattelite released) radius of earth = 6,371,000m + 700,000m = 7,071,000 Fg=(6.67E-11)(5.9736E24)/(7071000^2) Fg= 7.97 Next you must find the velocity necessary for centripetal acceleration to equal the force of gravity that you just found. 7.97=v^2/r 7.97=v^2/7,071,000 56355870=v^2 take the square root v=7507 m/s
