In a computer simulation, a satellite orbits around earth at a distance from the earth's surface of miles. the orbit is circular, and one revolution around earth takes 10.3 days. assuming the radius of the earth is 3960 miles, find the linear speed of the satellite. express the answer in miles per hour to the nearest whole mile.

The linear speed of the satellite is 101 miles/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by the satellite to complete 1 revolution around the earth = T

T= 10.3 days = 247.2 hours

1 day = 24 hours

Radius of the earth = r = 3960 miles

Distance of the satellite from the center of the earth will be close the radoisu of the earth.

Distance of the satellite from the center of the earth, R ≈ r

Circular distance covered by satellite ,D= 2πR

Speed of the satellite :

100.6529 miles/hour ≈ 101 miles /hour

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this amazing day. to answer your question, yes, nonzero numbers can have a greatest common factor and that would be 1. still don't get it? let me considering every number is divisible by 1 and hence every number has 1 as a factor of theirs. so, if 2 nonzero numbers didn't share any gcf (greatest common factor), they would still have a factor in common and that would be 1.

i hope that this ! : p
