Asked by Rose
A satellite orbits a planet at 4000m/s, and the acceleration of gravity (centripetal acceleration) on the satellite is 0.58m/s2. What is the diameter of the orbit of the satellite? (Enter your answer in scientific notation utilizing "e" format and rounding the decimal value to one decimal place.)
For this problem, I used the formula r = v^2/g. When I plugged in 4000/0.58, I got 6.8e10^3, but I wasn't correct. Please help!
