The speed of the object above the moon to become a satellite is 4.95 x 10⁴ m/s.

What is the orbital speed of the satellite?

The orbital speed of the satellite above the moon is calculated by applying the orbital speed equation.

V = √ (GM / r )

where;

  • G is universal gravitation constant
  • M is the mass of the moon
  • r is the position of the satellite

The given parameters include;

  • mass of the moon = 7.35 x 10²² kg
  • position of the satellite, r = 2000 m
  • universal gravitation constant, G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

The orbital speed of the satellite is calculated

V = √ (GM / r )

V = √ (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 7.35 x 10²² / 2000 )

V = 4.95 x 10⁴ m/s
