A remote sensing satellite is movig around the earth in an orbit whose altitude from the surface of earth is 800km . Calculate orbital velocity and oebital period of the satellite
Answers
this orbiting satellite is given by the relationship
Orbital Period Equation
The final equation that is useful in describing the motion of satellites is Newton's form of Kepler's third law. Since the logic behind the development of the equation has been presented elsewhere, only the equation will be presented here.
I hope it help u

Answer:
Orbital velocity = 7.455 × 10^6 m/s
Time Period T = 1.69 hour
Explanation:
Given
Height of the satellite h = 800 km
R = Re + h = 6400 + 800 = 7200 km = 7.2 × 10^6 m
Orbital velocity of the satellite is given by
Taking the following data
Radius of earth Re = 6400 km
Mass of the earth Me = 6 × 10^24 kg
G = 6.67 × 10^-11 N-m²/kg²
V= √ GMe
R
= V= √ 6.67*10−¹¹ * 6* 10−²⁴
7.2*10⁶
= V = 7.455*10³ m/s
Calculation of time period using
T² = 4π² (7.2*10⁶)³
6.67*10−¹¹ *6*10−²⁴
T = 2π * √9.3265*10⁵
T = 2π * 9.657*10²
T = 6067.67sec OR T = 1.69hour
