an artificial satellite is moving around earth in a circular orbit equal to one fourth the escape speed of a body , from the surface of earth .the hgt of satellite above earth's surface is (R = radius of earth)

ans: 7R

why?

 Escape velocity = 2gR1/4 th escape velocity = 2gR/4 = gR/8=GM/8Rorbital speed = GM/rso r= 8R
