Question 1143645: A space shuttle was place in a circular orbit 250 mi above the earth's surface.
One orbit is completed in 1.5hr . If the radius of the earth is 3,964mi .what is the linear velocity of the shuttle in miles per hour (to three significant digits)?
Can you plss draw the fig. Thankyou

.
Draw two concentric circles.
The smaller will represent the Earth; the larger will represent the orbit.
It is totally enough to solve the problem.
It is not necessary to have a plot (a sketch, actually) in scale.

To solve the problem, calculate the RADIUS, R, of the orbit first.
Then calculate the length of of the orbit as .
Then calculate the linear velocity by dividing the length of the orbit (its circumference) by the given time.
When you complete these calculations, you will get the answer.
Happy solving !
