AI Generated Solution

To determine the height of the satellite above the Earth's surface, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We know that the satellite orbits the Earth in a circular path with a period of 90 minutes. We need to find the height of the satellite above the Earth's surface. ### Step 2: Convert Time Period to Seconds The time period (T) is given as 90 minutes. We need to convert this into seconds: \[ ...
