A satellite contructs a circle around the earth in 90 minutes. Determine the height of the satellite above the earth's surface.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the height of a satellite above the Earth's surface, we can use the formula for the period of a satellite in circular motion around the Earth. The period \( T \) is given by: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{(R + h)^3}{gR^2}} \] Where: - \( T \) is the period of the satellite (in seconds), ...
