Astronauts on the ISS orbit Earth 16 times a day at a height of 400km above the surface. Given that the radius of Earth is approximately 6400km, how fast are the astronauts travelling?

v = 2𝜋R/T where R is the orbital radius, T is the time period.R = radius_of_earth + height_of_orbit = 6800km + 400km = 6800km = 6.8×10 6 m.T = hours_in_day/number_of_orbits_in_day = 24/16 hours = 1.5 hours =...
