Two satellites each of mass 2500 kg and 3000 kg are orbiting the earth at a height of 400 km above the surface of the earth. Is the velocity of the 3000 kg satellite larger than the velocity of the 2500 kg satellite?

The astronaut orbiting the Earth in Figure P4.19 is preparing to dock with a Westar VI satellite. The satellite is in a circular orbit 600 km above the Earth's surface, where the free-fall acceleration is 8.21 m/s^2. Take the radius of the Earth as 6400 km. Determine the speed of the satellite and the time interval required to complete one orbit around the Earth, which is the period of the satellite.
