Problem

A satellite orbits Earth in a circular path of radius 7.0×106 m7.0\times10^{6}\,\text{m}. Its required centripetal acceleration is 9.0 m s−29.0\,\text{m s}^{-2}. Estimate the time period of its revolution. (a) 4.0×103 s4.0\times10^{3}\,\text{s} (b) 1.1×104 s1.1\times10^{4}\,\text{s} (c) 5.5×103 s5.5\times10^{3}\,\text{s} (d) 8.0×103 s8.0\times10^{3}\,\text{s}
