The orbital period of a satellite is 2 × 106 s and its total radius is 2.5 × 1012 m. the tangential speed of the satellite is m/s. (round to the nearest whole number, do not add any punctuation.)

The tangential speed of the satellite is 7853982 m/s

Explanation:

To find the tangential speed of the satellite we need the circumference of the orbit.

The circumference is , when the radius of the orbit is . For the case of our satellite,

Now the tangential speed is easy to calculate because it is just the circumference divided by period:

we put in the numbers and get:

a. vertically

explanation:

i tried it and took the test

if im wrong then we have different tests
