So I came across a question in a quiz book the other day and I still haven't been able to answer it, so I figured I would ask some experts... Here goes...
As a NASA senior physicist, would you agree with the calculation made by a junior physicist regarding the speed of an artificial satellite, v = 3 x 10^4 m/s, assuming that it is traveling at an altitude h = 230 km above the Earth's surface where g = 9.0 m/s^2. The radius of the Earth is 6370 km.
