Question
A satellite moves on a circular earth orbit that has a radius of 6.7 x 105 m. A model airplane is flying on a 15-m guideline in a horizontal circle. The guideline is parallel to the ground. Determine the speed (m/s) of the plane such that the plane and the satellite have the same centripetal acceleration.
