Asked by kaitlyn
A satellite moves in a circular orbit around the Earth at a speed of 5661 m/s. (b) Determine the period of the satellite's orbit.
the satilites altitude above the surface of earth is 6076312.71m.
im using the equation P=2*pi*r/v and am coming up with 1.87 and its not right. i really need help!
