v = 2πR/T where R is the orbital radius, T is the time period.R = radius_of_earth + height_of_orbit = 6800km + 400km = 6800km = 6.8Γ106m.T = hours_in_day/number_of_orbits_in_day = 24/16 hours = 1.5 hours = 90 minutes = 5400 seconds.v = (2πΓ6.8Γ106)/5400 β 7900ms-1.For appreciation of how fast this is, this corresponds to around 18000mph, which is 10 times the speed of an average bullet, and over 20 times the speed of sound in air!
