...kilometres must it travel? A satellite is in a circular orbit 225 km above the equator of the earth. How many kilometres must it travel for its longitude to change by 78.2°?
Assume the radius of the earth equals 6400 kilometres.
I've seen pictures of circular-shaped boats on google image search, but where can I buy one?
I'm talking about something like this: http://pro.corbis.com/images/VV1185.jpg?size=67&uid=%7B4FF612DF-2077-4D4B-B606-D3948D5D44E8%7D
Or this...
I always see this circular device on one of the windows on the bridge of a large ship. It is about two feet in diameter. Its always there, on old ships and new. WHAT IS IT?
Is this answer correct or wrong? thanks you
5. While a car travels around a circular track at constant speed its
A) acceleration is zero.
B) velocity is zero.
C) both of these.
D) neither of these. <-- Answer
Why there is no mechanism for altering the trajectory?
I think it would need a huge force to launch a satellite into circular orbit using a cannon buut why?
Determine? A satellite moves in a circular orbit around the Earth at a speed of 5034 m/s. Determine
(a) the satellite's altitude above the surface of the Earth and
(b) the period of the satellite's orbit.
...Earth at a height of 3600 km? Mass of Earth: 5.98 E 24 kg
Equatorial Radius of the Earth: 6.378 E 3
I'm not sure if these are needed for this problem but I provided them just in case.
This was everything that was given. I'm not sure this problem is even possible..
