a satellite makes 10 revolutions per day around the earth.find its distance from the surface of the earth.
To find the distance of the satellite from the surface of the Earth, we need to know the time period of its orbit and the radius of the Earth.
The time period of the satellite's orbit can be calculated using the formula:
T = 24 hours / n
Where T is the time period in hours and n is the number of revolutions per day. In this case, n is 10 revolutions per day. Plugging in the values:
T = 24 hours / 10 = 2.4 hours
Next, we need to convert the time period into seconds:
T = 2.4 hours x 60 minutes per hour x 60 seconds per minute = 8,640 seconds
Now, we can calculate the satellite's distance from the surface of the Earth using the orbital speed formula:
v = 2πr / T
Where v is the orbital speed, r is the distance from the satellite to the center of the Earth, and T is the time period in seconds. We can rearrange the formula to solve for r:
r = (v x T) / (2π)
The orbital speed, v, can be calculated using the formula:
v = 2πr / T
Substituting the known values into the formula:
v = (2π x r) / 8,640
Rearranging the formula to solve for r:
r = (v x T) / (2π)
To find the distance of the satellite from the surface of the Earth, we need the satellites' orbital speed. Unfortunately, that information is missing in the question. If you can provide the orbital speed, we can calculate the distance of the satellite from the Earth's surface using the formula shown above.
