Use the equation
To show: Period of space shuttle is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Distance of space shuttle from Earth’s surface is
Formula used:
The given equation is,
Calculation:
As radius of Earth is around 6370 km.
So, the distance of space shuttle from Earth’s center is,
Now,
Gravitational constant,
Mass of Earth,
The time period is,
Conclusion:
Hence, it is shown that the period of space shuttle is approximately
