Question

11. The orbit of the international space station's (ISS) is nearly circular, is about 413 km above the Earth's surface, and has a period $T$ of 92.7 minutes. Given that the Earth's radius is 6,378 km, determine the magnitude of acceleration of the ISS as a fraction of $g = 9.80 \frac{m}{s^2}$. Hint: draw a picture of the situation first! a. $a = 0.032 \ g$ b. $a = 0.054 \ g$ c. $a = 0.93 \ g$ d. $a = 0.88 \ g$ e. $a = 1.1 \ g$
