Find the orbital period of the satellite

Reference no: EM13689122

Problem: A satellite is in circular orbit at an altitude of 1500 km above the surface of a nonrotating planet with an orbital speed of 9.2 km/s. The minimum speed needed to escape from the surface of the planet is 14.9 km/s, and G = 6.67 × 10^-11 N•m²/kg².

A- Find the orbital period of the satellite?

Please use great detail in explaining the solution. Thank you.
