The Moon orbits Earth at an average distance of 3.84×105 km3.84\times10^{5}\,\text{km} with a period of 27.327.3 days. a. (i) Determine the orbital radius (from Earth’s centre) required for a satellite that completes one revolution in exactly 24 h24\,\text{h}. b. (ii) Using the value obtained in part (i), calculate the linear speed of this satellite in its orbit.
