The video tutorial explains how to calculate the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit above Earth. It derives the equation for satellite speed using centripetal and gravitational forces, and demonstrates the calculation of speed and orbital period. The tutorial also covers the concept of geosynchronous satellites, explaining their period and how to calculate their height above Earth's surface.
