What is the period of revolution of a satellite with mass m that orbits the earth in a circular path of radius 7880 km (about 1500 km above the surface of the earth)

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

For time period of revolution , the expression is as follows .

T² =  4π² R³ /GM , M is mass of the earth.

Putting the values

T² =  4π² (7880 x 10³)³ /(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ )( 5.97 x 10²⁴ )

T² = 4.846 x 10⁷ s

T = 6.961 x 10³ s

= 6961 s

= 116 minutes .
