Using the equation:

(Kepler's for Kepler's constant for earth)Earth $K$:
K = GM/4π^2
$$K = \frac{GM}{4\pi^2}$$ K = 1.01 x 10^13$$K = 1.01 \times 10^{13} \;\rm m^3/s^2$$

Finding time (r = 6.4 x 10^6 m$r = 6.4 \times 10^{6} \;\rm m$ (radius of earthEarth)):

C = r^3/T^2
T = sqrt(r^3/C)
$$K = \frac{r^3}{T^2}$$ T = 5095 s
$$T = \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{K}}$$ T = 85 minutes$$T = 5095 \;\rm s = 85\; minutes$$

So 85 minutes is approximately the minimum time for a satellite to orbit the earthEarth. Why can't it just go faster to take less time? Would that mean it would fall out of orbit?

Why does earth have a minimum orbital period?

Using the equation:

(Kepler's constant for earth):
K = GM/4π^2
K = 1.01 x 10^13

Finding time (r = 6.4 x 10^6 m (radius of earth)):

C = r^3/T^2
T = sqrt(r^3/C)
T = 5095 s
T = 85 minutes

So 85 minutes is approximately the minimum time for a satellite to orbit the earth. Why can't it just go faster to take less time? Would that mean it would fall out of orbit?
