The weather satellite NOAA-15 orbits the Earth every 101 min at an altitude of 807 km as shown in the figure. The cameras on the satellite have a maximum range defined by the set of lines tangent to the Earth from the satellite. Using the radius of the Earth as 6357 km , approximate the length of the arc from A to B to the nearest kilometer. This is the maximum distance along the surface of the Earth' seen" by the satellite's cameras.

A satellite is rotating around the Earth 0.25 radians per hour at an altitude of 242 kilometers above the earth. If the radius of the Earth is 6378 kilometers, find the linear speed of the satellite in kilometers per hour.
What is the distance from the earth to the sun when the moon is half full
A city is located at 40 degrees north latitude. Assume the radius of the earth is 3960 miles and the earth rotates once every 24 hours. Find the linear speed of a person who resides in this city. Refer to Exercise 5.74 for information on trigonometric functions.
