The satellite and airplane physics problem? - satellite physics
A satellite is placed on a circular orbit of the Earth has a radius of 6 m. 6.56EA Model airplane flying in a guide 16.5 m in a horizontal circle. The pattern is almost parallel to the ground. Find the speed of the aircraft so that aircraft and satellites have the same centripetal acceleration.

Satellite centripetal acceleration. GM/r1 = A1 ^ 2
G = 6.673e-11 Nm 2/kg ^ ^ 2, M (earth) = 5.9742E24 kg
The centripetal acceleration level. A2 = v ^ 2/r2
a1 = a2
v = (A2 * R2) = sqrt (a1 * R2) = sqrt sqrt (GMr2/r1 ^ 2)
= Sqrt (6.673e-11 * 5.9742E 24 * 16.5/6.56E6 ^ 2 = 3.9263 m / s
