The space shuttle program involved 135 manned space flights in 30 yr. In addition to supplying and transporting astronauts to the International Space Station, space shuttle missions serviced the Hubble Space Telescope and deployed satellites. For a particular mission, a space shuttle orbited the Earth in 1.5 hr at an altitude of 200 mi.

a. Determine the angular speed (in radians per hour) of the shuttle.

b. Determine the linear speed of the shuttle in miles per hour. Assume that the Earth’s radius is 3960 mi. Round to the nearest hundred miles per hour.
