Question 198728: Radio signals travel at a rate of meters per second. How many seconds will it take for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of the Earth if the satellite is orbiting at a height of meters? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Radio signals travel at a rate of meters per second. How many seconds will it take for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of the Earth if the satellite is orbiting at a height of meters?
----------------
d = rt
t = d/r = 3.6E7/3E8
t = 1.2E-1 = 0.12 seconds.
