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 don't have the acceleration, and If I would use Newtons law of universal gravitation, I don't know where to start. Can someone help me?
