In two revolutions in a circular orbit around the Earth, the spacecraft covered 84 152 km.

In two revolutions in a circular orbit around the Earth, the spacecraft covered 84 152 km. At what height above the surface of the Earth is the ship located if the radius of the Earth is 6370 km?

For the correct solution of this problem, we must clearly understand and understand what kind of data is given to us.

So, for a further solution, we will have to rename our data.

6370 kilometers, we will designate as R.

And 84152 will be denoted as 2C.

Now let’s write out the formula for finding C.

C = 2 * π * r.

42076 in this formula is 2 * π.

r = 6700.

We need to find d.

It is found by the path r – R.

That is, by:

6700 – 6370.

The answer is 330.

Thus, we have solved this problem correctly.
