Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the orbital speed of a satellite orbiting the Earth at a height of 1000 km, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We need to calculate the orbital speed \( v_0 \) of a satellite that is at a height \( h = 1000 \) km above the Earth's surface. ### Step 2: Identify the Relevant Formulas The gravitational force provides the necessary centripetal force for the satellite's circular motion. We can set the gravitational force equal to the centripetal force: ...
