An abject is orbiting the Earth at 215 miles in altitude. It takes one hour to orbit the Earth. What is it's (sic) speed? What is the mathmatic equation to calculate the answer?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "The earth's radius is ~ 3960 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "3960+215 = 4175 miles
\n" ); document.write( "The distance, s, of a revolution is 2*pi*4175 miles
\n" ); document.write( "s =~ 26232 miles
\n" ); document.write( "s/1 hr = 26232 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
