Answer:

424088766.068 m

Explanation:

Radius of the circular orbit that the satellite is 2.6 Earth radii (r) = 2.6 R

R = Radius of earth = 6371000 m (mean radius)

In order to find the distance that the satellite travels in 5.89 hours to complete one complete revolution is the circumference of the circular orbit

Circumference of a circle = 2×π×r

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6 R

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6×6371000

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 104078451.3393m

Distance travelled in 1 hour = 104078451.3393/5.89 = 17670365.252 m

∴ Distance travelled in 24 hours = 17670365.252×24 = 424088766.068 m

larisa86 [58]
Use the Pythagoras for the magnitude and the tan^-1 x = -1 for the angle

displacement = 4^2 + 4^2 = 32 = 4 sqrt(2) =  5.65 km

angle is 135 degrees.
