A satellite is orbiting the earth at an rate of 96 minutes. The radius of the earth and the mass is known. How do I calculate how high above earth the satellite is orbiting?
I tried to use formula a= 4*(3.14^2)*(r+6380)/t
But I dont have the acceleration, and If I would use newtons law of universal gravitation, I dunno where to start. Can someone help me?
