Question 482239: Calculate the length of the circular orbit of a space shuttle if it travels 570km above the surface of the Earth. Assume the center of the orbit and the center of the Earth is the same and the approximate diameter of the earth is 12756km. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Calculate the length of the circular orbit of a space shuttle if it travels 570km above the surface of the Earth. Assume the center of the orbit and the center of the Earth is the same and the approximate diameter of the earth is 12756km.
--------
diameter of the orbit: 12756+2*570 = 13896 km
------------
Perimeter of the orbit = 13896(pi) km
