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

Explanation / Answer

Let m:mass of satellite M:mass of Earth 6*10^24 Kg h: attitude R: radius of Earth 6380 Km we have m*V^2/(R+h)=M*m*G/(R+h)^2 =>h=M*G/(v^2)-R=6*10^24*6.67*10^-11/2090^2 -6380000=85.24 *10^6m T=2(R+h)/v=76.5 h
