|
3.27 m/s^2
|
|
|
1.09 m/s^2
|
|
|
2.45 m/s^2
|
|
|
0.612 m/s^2

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So speed of satellite is 4 km/s.
Detailed explanation-2: -The acceleration of the satellite would be directed towards the center of the circle-towards the central body that it is orbiting. And this acceleration is caused by a net force that is directed inwards in the same direction as the acceleration.
Detailed explanation-3: -A satellite is moving in circular orbit of radius 5RE. Its acceleration would be GME/R2E=10 m/s2.
Detailed explanation-4: -Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites. Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) Satellites. Geostationary Orbit (GEO) Satellites. Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) Satellites. More items •22-Mar-2023
