Detailed Solution

The speed will be 3.07 km /s.
Given:
We know that the speed of the object moving in the circular orbit is given by the formula,
v=2πrt
Now using the given credentials, we have
π=227
Radius r = 42250 km
Time = 24 h
speed =2×22×422507×24
Therefore = 11065.4 km/h
Since we need the answers in seconds
v=11065.460×60
v= 3.07 km/s
