For a circular trajectory of a satellite around the earth, the centrifugal forces must balance the ______ Correct Answer gravitational forces

The centrifugal forces should be equal to the gravitational forces for a satellite revolving around the earth in a circular orbit. If m denotes the satellite mass, us denotes the satellite velocity, and R represents the radius of the orbit, then mus2/R = mg.
