Answer:
Explanation:
It is given that,
Radius at which a satellite is orbiting Earth, r = 42000 km
Time taken to complete one revolution, t = 24 hours
We need to find the linear speed of satellite. It can be calculated by calculating total distance divided by total time taken. Total distance covered is equal to . Speed is given by :
v = 10995.57 km/h
So, the linear speed of the satellite is 10995.57 km/h. Hence, this is the required solution.
