Consider a Satellite in a Circular Orbit Around the Earth

Question 46

Multiple Choice

Consider a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth. If it were at an altitude equal to twice the radius of the Earth, 2R_E, how would its speed v relate to the Earth's radius R_E, and the magnitude g of the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface?
