Centripet alacceleration of the space shuttle in its orbit

Reference no: EM13650080

Suppose the space shuttle is in orbit 320km from the Earth's surface, and circles the Earth about once every90.9 minutes. Find the centripet alacceleration of the space shuttle in its orbit. Express your answerin terms of g, the gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface.
