A satellite of mass 1525 kg is in circular orbit around Earth. The radius of the orbit of the satellite is equal to 1.5 times the radius of Earth (RE = 6.378*106 m, ME = 5.98*1024 kg, G = 6.67*10-11 Nm2/kg2). (a) Find the orbital period of the satellite? (b) Find the orbital (tangential) velocity of the satellite.  (c) Find the total energy of the satellite?
