A satellite orbits the earth above the equator with a period equal to $24 \mathrm{hrs}.$ Determine the height of the satellite above the earth.

[$\mathrm{G}=\left(6.67 {\mathrm{m}}^3{\mathrm{kg}}^{-1}{\mathrm{s}}^{-2}\right)$]

The Hubble Space Telescope is in the orbit around the earth at a height of $560 \mathrm{km}$ above the earth's surface Calculate the Hubble's speed.

$\left[\mathrm{G}=6.67 {\mathrm{m}}^3{\mathrm{kg}}^{-1}{\mathrm{s}}^{-2}\right]$

In a servicing mission, a space shuttle spotted the Hubble telescope a distance of $10 \mathrm{km}$. Estimate how long it took the shuttle to catch up with the Hubble, assuming that the Shuttle was moving in a circular orbit just $500 \mathrm{m}$ below Hubble's orbit of $560 \mathrm{km}$.

$\left[\mathrm{G}=6.67\times {10}^{-11}{\mathrm{m}}^3{\mathrm{kg}}^{-1}{\mathrm{s}}^{-2}\right]$
