An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of radius42250 km. Calculate its speed if it takes 24 hours to revolvearound the earth.​

Answer»

Answer:

The RADIUS of the orbit = 42250 km

Speed if it takes 24 hours to revolve AROUND the earth

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.
