Homework Statement
a satellite will remain in orbit such that the centripetal acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity. The radius of the satellites orbit is 6.37*10^6m. What speed must the satellite travel to stay in orbit?
Homework Equations
ac=v^2/r
The Attempt at a Solution
Would I just take the sqrt of ac*r to get the velocity?
