Question

A satellite makes a 940 million km orbit in 24 hours. What is the average velocity of the satellite? (K) Question 8 options: 652m/s 10880m/s 39m/s 0.0m/s

Expert Solution

Step 1: Calculate average velocity

To find the average velocity of the satellite, you can use the formula:

Average Velocity = Total Distance Traveled / Total Time Taken

In this case, the satellite makes a 940 million km orbit in 24 hours:

$A v e r a g e v e l o c i t y = \frac{D i s t a n c e t r a v e l l e d}{t o t a l t i m e}$

Average Velocity = $\frac{940, 000, 000 k m}{24 h o u r s}$

Average Velocity = 39,166,667 km/h

So, the average velocity of the satellite is approximately 39,166,667 kilometers per hour.
