Question 23 of 29 For a satellite to orbit Earth at a constant distance, its centrifugal acceleration
must be equal and opposite Earth's gravitational acceleration. If a satellite is
to orbit at a constant distance from Earth at a circular radius of 8,300,000 m,
what is the required velocity of the satellite? (Assume the acceleration due to
Earth's gravity is 5.6 m/s2 at this altitude.)
A. 7043 m/s
B. 6818 m/s
C. 8239 m/s
D. 7576 m/s
