What is the angular velocity of parking satellites?(a) pi/2 rad/hr(b) pi/3 rad/hr(c) pi/6 rad/hr(d) pi/12 rad/hrI had been asked this question in class test.I want to ask this question from Gravitation in portion Gravitation of Physics – Class 11

Answer» RIGHT CHOICE is (d) pi/12 rad/hr

The best I can explain: Parking satellites (or) geostationary satellites have a TIME period of 24 hours. This means that it takes 24 hours to complete 1 revolution, i.e., 2*pi radians.

Therefore; ANGULAR velocity = (2 x pi)/24 rad/hr

 = pi/12 rad/hr.
