Question

Enrique is given information about a satellite orbiting Earth. R = 3. 8 Ă— 108 m T = 18 days In order to calculate the tangential speed of the satellite, what should Enrique do first? convert the radius to kilometers convert the orbital period to seconds find the square root of the radius find the square root of the orbital period.

Answer 1

The first step that  Enrique must take in order to calculate the tangential speed of the satellite is to convert the period from days to seconds.

We know that the SI unit of speed is meter per second and now, we with to obtain the tangential speed of the satellite.

Since the period is given in days, the first step is to convert the period from days to seconds.
