Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

For a geostationary satellite T = 24 hrs ⇒ω

s

​

=

24

2π

​

=

12

π

​

Similarly for angular velocity of earth ω

e

​

=

12

π

​

Relative angular velocity ω

r

​

=ω

e

​

+ω

s

​

=

12

π

​

+

12

π

​

=

6

π

​

Relative T =T

r

​

=

ω

r

​

2π

​

=

6

π

​

2π

​

=12hrs.

Therefore the 12 hours is right answer
