What is the speed of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit about Earth?
1 answer
Geosynchronous means that the satellite orbits the earth at the same rate that the earth rotates about its axis, or 1 rev/24 hours. Use this information to plug into the formula for the speed as a function of period of rotation
