A rocket travels horizontally, close to the earth. The centripetal acceleration of the rocket is the earth's gravity (9.8 m/s2). If the earth's radius is 6.3 x 106 m and we neglect air resistance, how fast must the rocket be going to keep a constant height above the earth's surface?

We found the centripetal acceleration of the Earth as it revolves around the Sun. Compute the centripetal acceleration of a point on the surface of the Earth at the equator caused by the rotation of the Earth about its axis. (Enter the magnitude. The radius of the Earth is 6,371 km.) m/s2
6. At the surface of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2
At the surface of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2. How far above the surface of the earth would the acceleration due to gravity be 10% smaller? In other words, at what height is the acceleration due to gravity 8.82 m/s2?
