I get 50,000 km. Check your units and make sure everything matches up.

If it still doesn't work out, solve the equation algebraically for a, and post that equation and we can see if you are correct at that point.

Hi,

Thanks for the help. You were right I checked my units and they were off. I was using G in meters instead of km. Thanks again!
