Homework Statement
An Earth's satelite is in equatorial orbit at 352,000 km above earth. What is the orbital velocity (m/s) of the satelite (4 sig figs)
Homework Equations
g1d1^2=g2d2^2 to find gravity at the height of the satellite
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't really know what an equatorial orbit is, i tried solving it as if it was a circular orbit but that didn't work. My guess was that equatorial means it goes around Earth once per year, but no idea...
