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)

v=Gmp(7,000 km)−−−−−−−√v=Gmp(7,000 km)−−−−−−−√
v=Gmp(200 km)−−−−−−√v=Gmp(200 km)−−−−−−√
v=1(200 km)Gmp−−−−√v=1(200 km)Gmp−−−−√
v=1(7,000 km)Gmp−−−−√v=1(7,000 km)Gmp−−−−√
The correct equation to find the velocity of the satellite in a low Earth orbit is v = (G * mp * (200 km))^0.5.
The equation that could be used to find the velocity of the satellite if it is placed in a low Earth orbit is:
v = √(Gmp / 200 km)
The equation that could be used to find the velocity of the satellite if it is placed in a low Earth orbit is:
v = √(G * mp / r)
In this equation, G is the universal gravitational constant, mp is the mass of the planet, and r is the radius of the orbit.
Looking at the given options, we can see that none of them match the correct equation. Therefore, none of the provided options is the correct answer.
