10. A spacecraft is in a circular orbit around Earth at an altitude above the surface of 100 km. Use the radius of the Earth as 6371 km and use Earth's mass as M = 5.97 x 1024 kg. The universal gravitational constant is G = 6.67 x 10-11. a) Write parametric equations for the position, velocity and acceleration vectors of the spacecraft in its orbital plane. b) Use the parametric equations for position, velocity and acceleration to determine orbital speed at an altitude of 100km.
