Answer
a) $3.86\times10^3m/s$
b) $4.4\times10^4s$
Work Step by Step
a) The speed of a satellite orbiting the Earth is given by $v=\sqrt{\frac{GM_{Earth}}{r}}$. For the GPS satellites, $r=R_{Earth}+(11000)(1852km)=2.68\times10^7m$.
$$v=\sqrt{(6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)\frac{5.97\times10^{24}kg}{2.68\times10^7m}}=3.86\times10^3m/s$$
b) The period can be found from the speed and the radius.
$$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}$$
$$T=\frac{2\pi r}{v}=\frac{2\pi(2.68\times10^7m)}{3.86\times10^3m/s}=4.4\times10^4s$$
