Question

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. In terms of acceleration mention which type of motion is orbiting of a satellite?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that

The radius of the orbit = 42250 km

Find out

Speed if it takes 24 hours to revolve around the earth

Solution

Therefore, circumference of the orbit = 2*π*42250km = 265571.42 km

Time taken for the orbit = 24 hours

Therefore, speed of the satellite = 11065.4 km.h-1

The satellite orbits the Earth at a speed of 11065.4 kilometers per hour.
