Asatellite with an orbital period of exactly 24.0 h is always positioned over the same spot on earth. this is known as a geosynchronous orbit. television, communication, and weather satellites use geosynchronous orbits. at what distance would a satellite have to orbit earth in order to have a geosynchronous orbit?

35870474.30504 m

Explanation:

r = Distance from the surface

T = Time period = 24 h

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m = Mass of the Earth =  5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Radius of Earth =

From Kepler's law we have relation

Distance from the center of the Earth would be

35870474.30504 m

the electric field is a “force field” around a charged object that illustrates the direction the electric force would push an imaginary
