A satellite is in a circular orbit 1000 km above the Earth's surface; i.e., it moves on a circular path under the influence of nothing but the Earth's gravity. Find the speed of the satellite. The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 106 m, and the accel- eration of gravity at the satellite's altitude is 7.34616 m/s2 . Answer in units of km/s = 7.358
