Speed of a Satellite in Circular Orbit, Orbital Velocity, Period, Centripetal Force, Physics Problem

This physics video tutorial explains how to calculate the speed of a satellite in circular orbit and how to calculate its period around the earth as well. It uses the formula for centripetal force and gravitation to derive the equation for the orbital velocity of a satellite.

We were asked how many times a certain satellite would orbit the earth in a day and we were only give the satellite altitude, earth's mass and radius, and the gravitational constant. The essential piece of missing info was the equation for the distance of a circular path. One question though, how did you translate your velocity value into m/s?

    while on a circular orbit if the velocity of the object is increased then it will go further away but a new balance can be achieved only if distance decrease. (Higher velocity means higher centrifugal force and it can be balanced only by a higher gravitational force which will happen only if distance decrease) in reality an elliptical orbit is created. how do you explain this by the above simple physics?

    As far as I'm aware the radius of the earth doesn't change, so 6.38x10^6 meters or 6371 kilometers should be a constant. edit : "The scientists estimated the average change in Earth's radius to be 0.004 inches (0.1 millimeters) per year, or about the thickness of a human hair, a rate considered statistically insignificant." *Source : NASA* (www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/earth20110816.html#:~:text=The%20scientists%20estimated%20the%20average,a%20rate%20considered%20statistically%20insignificant.) edit 2 : at this rate of 0.1 milimeters per year, it would take 10 milions year just for the radius to go up by 1 kilometer, so I would say 6.38x10^6 meters or 6371 kilometers is good enough

    What is the work of the Earth on the satellite and why is it equal to zero?

    Forces only do work if they have some vector component along the path of motion. This path of motion is the circular orbit, the force is the centripetal force directed towards the center of the Earth. These are perpendicular, so gravity does no work. It's a similar story for charged particles moving in a mass spectrometer, if you've seen that.

    if the earth is inside the system it cannot do work. hence 0. If it is outside the system like external forces. it does work. my prof has us set it up like so work= change in energy work= PE + KE ... on the left is external forces that create work (b0th pos. and neg. work has to be parallel though. Work that is perpendicular is 0. Torque is when there are perpendicular force and distance ) on the right is internal energies, Gravitational potential and kinetic. If 0 work that means the internal forces are equal and opposite (for this scenario) Hope this helps.

    I keep getting 6.2543E10 for the speed on my calculator. I was wondering what am I doing wrong? I did convert the km into m by multiply it by 1000 and got the same radius in the video. I plugged the exact number in also.
