Gravity is the correct answer.
Answer:
Explanation:
distance of shuttle from centre of the earth = radius of the orbit
= 6300 + 300 = 6600 km
= 6600 x 10³
Formula of time period of the satellite
T = 2π R /v₀ , v₀ is orbital velocity
v₀ = √gR , ( if height is small with respect to radius )
T = 2π R /√gR
= 2π√ R /√g
= 2 x 3.14 x √ 6600 x 10³ / √9.8
= 2 x 3.14 x 256.9 x 10 / 3.13
= 5154.41 s
= 5154.41 / 60 minutes
= 85.91 m
85.9 minutes.
2 ) No of sunrise per day = no of rotation per day
= 24 x 60 / 85.9
= 16.76
or 17 sunrises.
The answer is actually c hope this helps

Technically you can go forever on and on, but maybe your question was like how many rotations in a certain distance?
