Centripetal acceleration in orbit
In a second version of the same physics investigation, a satellite in a hydrogen spectrum analysis moves at \(8200\,\text{m s}^{-1}\) in a circular orbit of radius \(7.4\times10^{6}\,\text{m}\). Calculate the centripetal acceleration. Use the diagram first, then calculate the requested value. Enter the numerical result and choose the interpretation that matches the physics meaning.
