An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of radius 42250 km. Calculate its speed if it takes 24 hours to revolve around the earth.
The orbit’s circumference is equal to 2πr. The orbit’s circumference is equivalent to 2×π×42250. The orbit’s circumference is 265330 kilometers. The orbit takes 24 hours to complete. Thus, the satellite’s speed equals 265330/24. The satellite’s frequency is 11055.41 km/h. Our satellite’s speed is 26533/8640. [24 hour = 24 × 60 × 60 = 86400 seconds] The satellite’s pace is 3.07 km/s.
The orbit's circumference is equivalent to 2×π×42250. The orbit's circumference is 265330 kilometers. The orbit takes 24 hours to complete. Thus, the satellite's speed equals 265330/24.
