Question:medium

A satellite is revolving in a circular orbit around the earth with a speed of 8.4 km s\(^{-1}\) at a height where the acceleration due to gravity is 8.4 m s\(^{-2}\). The height of the satellite from the Earth's surface is (Radius of Earth = 6400 km)

Show Hint

In satellite motion, always relate \(v^2 = g'r\) and subtract Earth radius to get height.
