A satellite is designed to orbit Earth at an altitude above it's surface that will place it in a gravitational field with a strength of 4.5N/kg
b)assuming the orbit is circular, calculate the acceleration of the satlellite and it's direction.
since the satellite is rotating around the Earth i used circular motion formula: a=v^2/r but since i wasn't provided any velocity i have to derive from the formula but i don't know where to start can i get some help please? thanks
