14. ♦ A spacecraft S is orbiting Jupiter in a circular path 1000 km above the surface with a constant speed. Using the gravitation law, calculate the magnitude v of its orbital velocity with respect to Jupiter. The diameter of Jupiter is 142,984 km and its surface-level gravitational acceleration is 24.85 m/s 2. Ans. v = 41,900 m/s 15.
