Question 1034495: In a computer simulation, a satellite orbits the earth around the plante at a distance of about 27,000 miles. The orbit is circular, and an orbit around the earth would take 10.9 days. Assuming the ratio of the earth measures 3960 miles, I have to find the lineal velocity of the satellite in mph. (miles per hour). Please help.
