Physics question, need help!



010 10.0 points An artificial satellite of mass m moves in a circular orbit around the Earth with a radius R, and a period T. Let RE be the radius of the Earth, G the gravitational constant and M the mass of the earth. Hint: Relate the particle's speed and radius to each other using both Newton's law for a particle moving in a circle in a gravitational field, and the kinematic expression of the period T for a particle moving in a circle at constant speed. What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the satellite with respect to the Earth's center? Only equations are present
