Suppose you are at the earth's equator and observe a satellite passing directly overhead and moving from west to east in the sky. Exactly 16.0 hours later, you again observe this satellite to be directly overhead. Assume a circular orbit. How far above the earth's surface is the satellite's orbit?
b)You observe another satellite directly overhead and traveling east to west. This satellite is again overhead in 16.0 hours. How far is this satellite's orbit above the surface of the earth?

A satellite is placed in an elongated elliptical (not circular) orbit around the Earth. At the point in its orbit where it is closest to the Earth, it is a distance of 1.00 × 106 m from the surface (not the center) of the Earth, and is moving at a velocity of 5.14 km/s. At the point in its orbit when it is furthest from the Earth it is a distance of 2.00×106 m from the surface of the Earth....
