Question

Calculate the period of revolution of a satellite revolving at a distance of 20 Km above the surface of the
earth (Radius of earth=6400 Km and acceleration due to gravity of earth =10 m/s2
)?

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) The value of gravitational acceleration g = 10 ms^-2 . (2) Radius of earth RE = 6400 km. Take pi ... An artificial satellite circle the Earth in a circular orbit at a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.00m/s2. Determine the orbital period of the satellite.
