A remote sensing satellite of the earth revolves in a circular orbit at a height of \(0.25 \times10^6~\text{m}\) above the surface of the earth. If Earth’s radius is \(6.38\times10^6~\text{m}\) and \(g=9.8~\text{ms}^{-2},\) then the orbital speed of the satellite is:
1. \(7.76~\text{kms}^{-1}\)
2. \(8.56~\text{kms}^{-1}\)
3. \(9.13~\text{kms}^{-1}\)
4. \(6.67~\text{kms}^{-1}\)
