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 low Earth orbit?(1 point)
Responses
v=1(7,000 km)Gmp−−−−√
v=Gmp(7,000 km)−−−−−−−√
v=Gmp(200 km)−−−−−−√
v=1(200 km)Gmp−−−−√
The equation that could be used to find the velocity of the satellite if it is placed in a geostationary orbit is:
v = √(G * mp / (42,164 km))
Therefore, the correct equation is:
v=Gmp(42,164 km)−−−−−−−−√
To find the velocity of a satellite in a geostationary orbit, you need to use the correct equation. The equation for the velocity of a satellite in orbit is given by:
v = √(G * mp / r)
Where:
- G is the universal gravitational constant
- mp is the mass of the planet
- r is the distance between the center of the planet and the satellite
In the options you provided, the equation v = Gmp(42,164 km)−−−−−−−−√ does not seem to include the correct formula. The equation v = Gmp(48,115 km)−−−−−−−−√ and v = Gmp(15,522 km)−−−−−−−−√ also do not include the correct formula as they are missing the square root (√) sign.
So, the correct equation to find the velocity of the satellite in a geostationary orbit would be:
v = Gmp(42,164 km)−−−−−−−−√
