Algebra.Com's Answer #579532 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A satellite in geostationary orbit stays over the same spot on Earth. The satellite completes one orbit in the same time that Earth rotates once about its axis (23.93 hours) . If the satellite's orbit has radius 4.23 X 10 to the 7th power m, calculate the satellite's orbital speed (tangential velocity) in meters per second. \n" ); document.write( "================= \n" ); document.write( "Do it the same way as the Earth's orbital speed. \n" ); document.write( " |
