Question detail

Calculate the orbital speed of a satellite orbiting a planet with a mass of 5.97 x 10^24 kg at an orbital radius of 7.0 x 10^6 m. Use G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m²/kg². Scenario focus: transformers in a distinct A-Level Physics fields context; identify the field quantity, source, direction, and unit before selecting the answer.

Calculate the orbital speed of a satellite orbiting a planet with a mass of 5.97 x 10^24 kg at an orbital radius of 7.0 x 10^6 m. Use G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m²/kg². Scenario focus: transformers in a distinct A-Level Physics fields context; identify the field quantity, source, direction, and unit before selecting the answer.

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • Orbital speed = 3,769 m/s.

Explanation

Why this works

The correct answer is Orbital speed = 3,769 m/s.. This is correct for Gravitational fields because the stem is testing transformers; the chosen option keeps the field quantity, source interaction, direction, and unit consistent.

The alternatives are weaker because they mix gravitational, electric, magnetic, orbital, or transformer ideas, or they attach the right number to the wrong physical meaning.
