for part a I used the equation centripetal acceleration= v^2/ radius
8.21= v^2/(6400+600)
57470=v^2
v= 239.73
what is wrong with this calculation?
Concerning finding the time. I completely forgot that t=distance/speed.
1. The astronaut orbiting the Earth in Figure P4.30 is preparing to dock with a Westar VI satellite. The satellite is in a circular orbit 600 km above the Earth's surface, where the free-fall acceleration is 8.21 m/s2. The radius of the Earth is 6400 km.
a) Determine the speed of the...
