A satellite in a 100-mile-high circular orbit around Earth has a velocity of approximately 17,500 miles per hour. If this velocity is multiplied by , the satellite will have the minimum velocity necessary to escape Earth’s gravity and will follow a parabolic path with the center of Earth as the focus. (Hints: The radius of Earth is 4,000 miles.)
