Scientists would like to place an artificial satellite into orbit at a height of 23,025 miles directly above the Earth's equator. Recall that the radius of the Earth is approximately 4,000 miles. Use the formula for the circumference of a circle to find the length of the satellite's orbit. \n" ); document.write( "ROUND the answer to the nearest WHOLE number. \n" ); document.write( "** \n" ); document.write( "Circumference of a circle=2π*radius \n" ); document.write( "For given problem: \n" ); document.write( "radius=23025+4000=27025 miles \n" ); document.write( "length of the satellite's orbit=2π*27025=169,803 miles \n" ); document.write( " |
