NK - Where I am

[Merrik Viltar Har]

The space shuttle circles the Earth in 89.5 min in an orbit of radius 6.63 x
10^6m.  What is the shuttle's acceleration?

Compare this value with the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's
surface.

If the radius of the Earth is 6.38 x 10^6m, find "n" in the following
expression...

(radius-earth/radius-shuttle)^n = (shuttle acceleration)/gravity

What do you want to bet, n = 2.
