What is the satellite’s speed before it’s launched (in m/s)? (Hopefully, it’s moving along with the surface of the Earth as the Earth rotates.) b. What is the satellite’s speed in its orbit (in m/s)? (Remember there is only onespeed a satellite can have in order to maintain a stable circular orbit with agiven radius.) c. Assuming a circular orbit, what is the orbital period of this satellite? (In other words, how long (in hours) does it take for the satellite to complete one orbit?) d. What is the minimum energy (work) necessary to place the satellite in orbit,assuming no air friction?
