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.
