Calculate the Speed of a Satellite Moving in a Stable Circular Orbit

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the speed of a satellite in a stable circular orbit at 4870 km above Earth, the relevant equation involves gravitational constant and radius. The formula V = √(GM/r) applies, where G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance from the center of the Earth. Participants emphasize the importance of showing effort in homework questions to receive effective assistance. Additionally, it's suggested to revise the thread title for clarity regarding the specific question being asked. Proper adherence to homework guidelines is encouraged for better support.

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
