Units and Dimensions

These are generally defined as the terms which precede or describes the dimensions further. These are also further divided into two parts namely fundamental units and the derived units.

Question

Use the relationship between distance (d), time (t) and speed (v),

d=vt

to find the calculation using the English units. Use the fact that GEO satellites orbit at 22,236 miles above Earth’s equator, and that the speed of light is 1.86 x 10⁵ mi/s.

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.
