A satellite makes a circular orbit around a planet of unknown diameter at an altitude of 1 mile above the planet. Then NASA boosted the satellite to an altitude of 2 miles above the planet. In the second orbit, the satellite travels how many miles farther than it travelled on the first orbit?(C=2 pie r) \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Circumference of 1st orbit: \n" ); document.write( "C = 2(pi)(1/2mi) = pi miles \n" ); document.write( "---------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Circumference of 2nd orbit: \n" ); document.write( "C = 2(pi)*1mi = 2pi miles \n" ); document.write( "----------------------- \n" ); document.write( "It travels pi miles further in the 2nd orbit than in the 1st. \n" ); document.write( "======================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
