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.
Answers
Given :
• Radius of the artificial satellite = 42250 km
• Time taken = 24 hours
To Find :
• The speed of the satellite to revolve around the earth.
Solution :
The speed of an object moving in a circular path is given by the formula :
We've to find the value of v, the value of r is given and we know the value of pi, π is
Putting the values in the above formula, we get :
We can convert this speed into m/s from km/hr by dividing it by the number of seconds in 1 hour i.e. (60×60 s)
The speed of the satellite to revolve around the earth is 3.07 km/s.
Answer:
✬Question:-
An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of radius 42240 km. Calculate its speed if it takes 24 hours to revolve around the earth.
---------------------------------------------------
✵Answer:-
Distance covered by the satellite in 24 hoursS = 2πr
= 2 × 3.14 × 42240
= 265267.2
✿ Therefore speed of satellite,
