Find the speed of the satellite in its orbit

Reference no: EM13653067

A satellite of mass 50.0kg is orbiting the earth at aheight of 1000km (as measured above the surface of the earth). Themass of the earth is 5.98x1024kg and the earth's radiusis 6.38x106m.

A. Find the speed of the satellite in its orbit.
B. If this orbit were decreased, by some external mechanism, by100km, would the speed of the satellite increase or decrease?Why?
