## Orbital speed & time required

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
the solar maximum mission satellite was placed in a circular orbit about 150 miles above earth. Determine (a) the orbital speed of the satellite and (b) the time required for 1 complete revolution

 But you haven't shown an attempt yet! Here's where I would start: The force of gravity between the satellite and the earth provides the centripetal force. Fg = Fc What should we do from here?
 try thinking about newtons laws of motion and applying one of them in particular radially =]
