Answer:

26621 km

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass: m = 5.98 x 10^(24) kg

Period; T = 43200 s

Formula for The velocity(v) of the satellite is:

v = 2πR/T

Where R is the radius

Formula for centripetal acceleration is;

a_c = v²/R

Thus; a_c = (2πR/T)²/R = 4π²R/T²

Formula for gravitational acceleration is:

a_g = Gm/R²

Where G is gravitational constant = 6.674 × 10^(-11) m³/kg.s²

Now the centripetal acceleration of the satellite is caused by its gravitational acceleration. Thus;

Centripetal acceleration = gravitational acceleration.

Thus;

4π²R/T² = Gm/R²

Making R the subject gives;

R = ∛(GmT²/4π²)

Plugging in the relevant values;

R = ∛((6.674 × 10^(-11) × 5.98 x 10^(24) × 43200²)/(4 × π²))

R = 26.621 × 10^(6) m

Converting to km, we have;

R = 26621 km

At which angle must a laser beam enter the water for no refraction to occur?
abruzzese [7]

Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).

Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.

Moral of the story:  If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.
