Ageostationary satellite has a orbital radius of 4.23*10.7m. a).calculate it’s speed in orbit

Answer ;

Note : Satellite completes  one orbit in the same time the earth rotates one about its axis

circumference of the orbit = 2 ×π × 4.23×10⁷  (similar to the earth orbital speed

The time of earth/orbit traveled  = 23.93 hrs ,

Speed of the orbit = (distance) ÷ (time)

                              = circumference ÷ time

                              = (2 ×π × 4.23×10⁷) ÷ 23.93   (1 hr = 3600 sec.)

                              = 3085.14 m/s

The orbital velocity is 3085.14 m/s

the higher the current the higher the mag field around it the higher the influence on the compass
