Question

Angular speed of geostationary satellite in radians per second

Answer 1

Answer:

For a geostationary satellite the angular speed in units of radian per hour is π/12.

Answer 2

$\frac{pi}{12}$

A geostationary satellite means that the satellite remains stationary with respect to the motion of the earth Or the relative velocity between the earth and the satellite is zero.

Thus, it is known that a geostationary satellite completes one revolution in a day.

∴ 360° in 24 hours

and has angular velocity of

ω = 360/24

= 15 degrees per hour

OR

2π/24

= π/12 radians per hour
