An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of radius 42,250 km. Calculate its speed if it takes 24 hour to revolve around the earth.

Answer»

Solution :Here,` r = 42,250 KM = 42250 XX 1000 m `
Time taken for one rovolution
`= 24 H = 24 xx 60 xx 60 s`
Speed (u) `= ("Distance")/("Time") = (2pi r )/("Time") = (2 xx (22)/(7)xx 42250 xx 1000 m )/( 24 xx 60 xx 60 s) `
`~~3073.74 ms ^(-1)`
The speed of the satellite is `3073.73 ms ^(-1)`
