Space shuttle completes 220 degrees of a
Revolution around earth in one day
What is the average speed of the space
Shuttle

angular speed=angle/time

convert 220 degrees to radians..
Angle=220/360 ( 2PI)

solve for angular speed.

linear speed=angular speed* (3959+220)

To calculate the average speed of the space shuttle, we need to know the distance it travels in one day.

The space shuttle completes 220 degrees of a revolution around the Earth in one day. Since a full revolution is 360 degrees, the space shuttle travels 220/360 of the Earth's circumference in one day.

The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula: Circumference = 2 * π * radius.

Given that the radius of the Earth is 3,959 miles, we can substitute this value into the formula to find the circumference of the Earth: Circumference = 2 * π * 3,959 miles.

Now, we can calculate the distance the space shuttle travels in one day:
Distance = (220/360) * Circumference.

Plugging in the values, we get:
Distance = (220/360) * (2 * π * 3,959 miles).

Once we know the distance traveled in one day, we can calculate the average speed:
Average Speed = Distance / Time.

However, we need to convert the time from one day to hours or minutes to match the distance units (miles per hour or miles per minute).

Let's assume that one day consists of 24 hours. So, we can calculate the average speed in miles per hour:
Average Speed (mph) = Distance / 24 hours.

If you want the average speed in a different unit of time (e.g., miles per minute), you can use the respective conversion factor.

By following these steps, you should be able to calculate the average speed of the space shuttle around the Earth.
