im sorry i think i got it.
its of a projectile that rises vertically above the earth to an altitude equal to one earth radius
is it:
square root of: (Universal gravitational constant of earth) x (mass of earth) all divided by Radius of earth?
v_{orbit}=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{r}}
Where G is universal gravitational constant, m is mass of orbiting body, and r is radius between bodies.
