The orbital speed of the satellite is 7.35*10^3 m/s.
What is orbital speed?
The speed of the satellite in its orbit is termed the orbital speed.
The orbital speed is given by the formula,
[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}[/tex]
where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet and r is the distance of the satellite from the center of the planet.
Here the distance of the satellite from the center of the planet is the sum of the planet's radius and the height attained by the satellite above the ground. So
r=6370 + 1000
r=7370 km
Given the mass of the planet is 5.97*10^24 kg and the value of the gravitational constant is 6.67*10^(-11) N m^2 kg^(-2), substitute these values in the formula of the orbital speed.
Note: 1 km=1000 m
[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\text{ N m}^2\text{kg}^{-2}\times5.97\times10^{24} \text{ kg}}{7370 \text{ km}}} \\ v=\sqrt{\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\text{ N m}^2\text{kg}^{-2}\times5.97\times10^{24} \text{ kg}}{7370\times 1000 \text{ m}}} \\ v= 7.35\times 10^3 \text{ m/s}[/tex]
Hence the orbital velocity of the satellite is 7.35*10^3 m/s.
