Hello everyone, I've run into a little issue with physics homework. During a lab we recently had, we were required to measure the amount of time it took for a ball to drop from different heights (2m, 1.5m, etc) using a photogate. Now that I'm writing the lab report, I have to find the...

So my equation for centripetal acceleration SHOULD include the radius of the Earth in addition to the height of the satellite?

This is my first question here, so I'm a little new at this. I've really learned a lot from this forum in the past. Here goes: 1. Suppose you are responsible for a no-engine rocket project which carries a new satellite into space a. What is the the minimum initial speed of the rocket to...
