A sateltle orbits at a height of 6,000 km above the earth's surface. REarth = 6.38 x 10° m, mEarth = 5.98 x 1024 kg. What is this satelite's speed, in km/s (kilometer per second)? Use G = 6.67 x 10-11 N-m2/kg2. Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
