Asatellite orbiting earth has a tangential velocity of 5000 m/s. earth’s mass is 6 × 1024 kg and its radius is 6.4 × 106 m. the distance of the satellite from earth, written in standard notation, is *blank* m.

Explanation:

we can solve the problem by equalizing the force of gravity that keeps the satellite in circular motion with the centripetal force:

where

is the gravitational constant

m is the satellite's mass

M is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from Earth's center

v is the tangential velocity of the satellite

By re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers, we find r:

However, this is the distance of the satellite from Earth's center. Since we want to know its distance from the Earth's surface, we must subtract the value of the Earth's radius:
