Calculate the Speed of a Satellite Moving in a Stable Circular Orbit

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the speed of a satellite in a stable circular orbit at 4870 km above Earth, the relevant equation involves gravitational constant and radius. The formula V = √(GM/r) applies, where G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance from the center of the Earth. Participants emphasize the importance of showing effort in homework questions to receive effective assistance. Additionally, it's suggested to revise the thread title for clarity regarding the specific question being asked. Proper adherence to homework guidelines is encouraged for better support.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
