It depends on the height.
GPE = KE
—> mgh = (1/2)mv^2
—> h = (1/2)/9.81*(7600m/s)^2 = 2944km = 1829 miles orbital height from the center of the Earth

1829 miles orbital height from the center of the EarthIsn't that inside rock? Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just a cook.

“(1/2)mv^2”
Using a force equation for orbital distance?
