A satellite's escape velocity is 6.mi./sec, the radius of the earth is 3960 mi, and the earth's gravitational constant (g) is 32.2 ft./sec^2. How far is the satellite from the surface of the earth?
The PE it gave up is changed to KE.
PE gave up= GMe*m/re-GMe*m/(h-re)
KE end= v change to miles to meters.
then
ke=PE chnange
solve for h.
