Question 1

Multiple Choice

A 5,000 kg satellite is orbiting the Earth in a circular path. The height of the satellite above the surface of the Earth is 800 km800 \mathrm{~km} . The angular speed of the satellite as it orbits the Earth is (ME=5.98×1024 kg,RE=6.37\left(\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{E}}=5.98 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{~kg}, \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{E}}=6.37\right. ×106 m,G=6.67×1011 Nm2/kg2\times 10^{6} \mathrm{~m}, \mathrm{G}=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{kg}^{2} )


A) 1.04×103rad/s1.04 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} .
B) 1.44×103rad/s1.44 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} .
