A satellite moves in a circular orbit around the Earth at aspeed of 2090 m/s. Find the satellites altitude above thesurface of the earth. Answer in units of m. Find the period of the satellite's orbit. Answer inunits of h.

Explanation / Answer

Apply Newton's law M*m*G/(R+h)^2=m*V^2/(R+h) Where M: mass of Earth 6*10^24 kg m: mass of satellite R: Radius of Earth 6400 Km h: The attitude V: velocity of satellite Plug the value => h=85000 Km
