An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of radius 42.250 km (approx). Calculate its linear velocity if takes 24 hour to revolve around earth.?​

Answer»

ANSWER :-

\implies  \boxed{\sf{ velocity \:  = 3.07 \:  \:  \frac{m}{s} }} \:

Explanation :-

ACCORDING to the QUESTION ,

\implies \sf{radius \: (r) = 42.250 \: km \: } \\  \\  \:  \:  \: \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:    \sf{r=   \:  \:  \: 42.250 \times 1000 \: metre \: } \\  \\  \: \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \sf{ r = 42250 \: m \: } \\  \\  \to \sf{time \: (t) = 24 \: hours = 86400 \: seconds \: }

LET distance covered by satellite is D .

Distance covered by satellite in 24 hours is -

\to \sf{ D \:  = 2 \pi \: r} \\  \\   \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  = 2 \times  3.14 \times 42250 \\  \\  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:     =  265330 \: m \:

Hence ,linear velocity(v) is -

\implies \sf{ v \:  =  \frac{D}{t}} \\  \\  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  =   \frac{265330}{86400}  = 3.07 \:  \frac{m}{s}  \\  \\  \implies  \boxed{\sf{ velocity \:  = 3.07 \:  \:  \frac{m}{s} }}
