Question

derive an expression for period of a satellite in a circular orbit round the earth​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Obtain an expression for the time period of a satellite orbiting the earth. A space shuttle is in a circular orbit at a height of 250 km from the earth's surface, where the acceleration due to earth's gravity is 0.93 g. Calculate the period of its orbit. Take g = 9.8 ms−2 and the radius of the earth R = 6.37 × 106m.
