    Can somebody help with this Physics problem?
    You observe an arti cial satellite orbiting the earth. You estimates it is at
    an altitude h = [03] km above the earth's surface and has a mass
    m = 3500 kg. You wish to calculate when the satellite will be back in the same position. From the second law of motion and the gravitational force law, calculate the following:
    (a) What is the satellite's velocity? (m/s)
    (b) What is the period of the satellite's motion?

    The only force acting on the satellite is the gravitational force (Fg) right? So by combining the two laws, we would have that ma=Fg. I solved for the Fg, but I'm not sure where to go from there.
