Answer:

That means it only takes 32 seconds more to reach an altitude of 62 miles. If you want to take acceleration into account, it is a few seconds less. So it takes approximately 150 seconds for the shuttle to get out of earth's atmosphere.

Answer:

At 3,500 MPH, the shuttle is traveling approximately one mile per second. That means it only takes 32 seconds more to reach an altitude of 62 miles. If you want to take acceleration into account, it is a few seconds less. So it takes approximately 150 seconds for the shuttle to get out of earth's atmosphere.
