Chapter 4, Problem 67EAP
Communications satellites are placed in a circular orbit where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth rotates. These are called geosynchronous orbits. The radius of the earth is 6.37 × 106 m, and the altitude of a geosynchronous orbit is 3.58 × 107 m (( 22,000 miles). What are (a) the speed and (b) the magnitude of the acceleration of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?
