A satellite (mass 2400 kg) is orbiting the Earth, with a speed of 7500 m/s. What is the height of this satellite above the Earth's surface?

Note: you may find the following information useful. The universal gravitational constant is 6.67x10-11 Nm2/kg2 ; the mass of the Earth is 6.0 x 1024 kg; the radius of the Earth is 6.4 x 103 km.

can you please show work if you can? I APPRECIATE YOU!!!
