Answer:Orbital period =21.22hrs
Explanation:
given that
mass of earth M = 5.97 x 10^24 kg
radius of a satellite's orbit, R= earth's radius + height of the satellite
6.38X 10^6 + 3.25 X10^7 m =3.89 X 10^7m
Speed of satellite, v=
where G = 6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2
V= \sqrt (6.673x10^-11 x 5.97x10^ 24)/(3.89 X 10^ 7m)
V =10,241082.2
v= 3,200.2m/s
a) Orbital period
=
V=
T= 2 r/ V
= 2 X 3.142 X 3.89 X 10^7m/ 3,200.2m/s
=76,385.1 s
60 sec= 1min
60mins = 1hr
76,385.1s =hr
76,385.1/3600=21.22hrs
