I am having trouble deciding when to use the static and kinetic frictions and what to do about this problem. Thanks for any help!
"An Earth satellite moves in a circular orbit 597 km above Earth's surface with a period of 96.42 min. What are (a) the speed and (b) the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the satellite?"
Ok, so first I converted everything to standard units. I made a circle diagram with radius...
