A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled 2.0 × 107 meters and is only 10 meters away from its starting point. What is the numerical value of the satellite's average velocity after that one hour?
2.77^-4 meters/second
To calculate the average velocity, we need to divide the total displacement by the total time taken. In this case, the total displacement is given as 10 meters and the total time taken is one hour, which is equivalent to 3600 seconds.
Average velocity = Total displacement / Total time
Average velocity = 10 meters / 3600 seconds
Therefore, the average velocity of the satellite after one hour is approximately 0.00278 meters per second.
