The distance of the satellite form the earth is:
9,608,000 m (Option C) in Standard form, this is written as 9.6 x 10^{6}.

<h3>What is an Orbiting Satellite?</h3>

An Orbiting Satellite is a satellite that goes around the earth in an elliptical path known as an orbit.

To calculate the distance of the satellite from the earth we must equalize the force of Gravity to Centripetal Force given that these are the two forces that are at play here.

Step 1:

Equation that equalizes Gravity to Centripetality is:

G = mM/r² = m(v²/r)

Note that G = 6.67 x 10^{-11} (This is a gravitational constant.)

m is the Mass of the Satellite

M is Mass of the Earth

r is the distance of the satellite from the center of the earth

v is the satellites tangential velocity

Step 2 - Rearrange the formula and substitute the numbers above to get r

r = G (m/v²) = (6.67 x 10^{-11}) (6 x10^{24}/5000²) =

= 1.6 x 10^{7}m

Recall that form our postulation above, this is the satellites distance form the center of the earth.

To get it's distance form the earth's surface, we must know remove the value of the radius of the earth from the calculation. Where radius of the earth is given a r'

Hence,

r' = r - R = 1.6 x 10^{7}m - 6.4 x 10^{6}m

= 9.6 x 10^{6}m or 9,608,000 m

Define the following:<br> deflation hollows<br> crevasses<br> morain
krok68 [10]
  1. Dune deflation hollows are where wind has removed sand down to a level where a layer of particles too heavy for the wind to move (an armoured surface) stabilises the sand and prevents the surface being lowered further.
  2. A crevasse is a deep, wedge-shaped opening in a moving mass of ice called a glacier. Crevasses usually form in the top 50 meters (160 feet) of a glacier, where the ice is brittle.
  3. a mass of rocks and sediment carried down and deposited by a glacier, typically as ridges at its edges or extremity.
