The speed of the satellite moving in a stable circular orbit about the Earth is 5,916.36 m/s.
Speed of the satellite
v = √GM/r
where;
- M is mass of Earth
- G is universal gravitation constant
- r is distance from center of Earth = Radius of earth + 4930 km
v = √[(6.626 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴) / ((6371 + 4930) x 10³)]
v = 5,916.36 m/s
Thus, the speed of the satellite moving in a stable circular orbit about the Earth is 5,916.36 m/s.
