A communications satellite in geosynchronous orbit remains above a single point on the Earth's equator as the planet rot
A communications satellite in geosynchronous orbit remains above a single point on the Earth's equator as the planet rotates on its axis. Information for the satellite and the Earth Object satellite Mass (kg) 14 Radius (m) 2.4 Earth Color Silver Green 5.97 X 1024 6.37 X 10 Calculate the radius of its orbit. b) Determine the speed of the satellite. If you couldn't answer part a, you can still answer this part. You can make up an answer for part a (tell me you are making it up!) and use it for this part. A c) Is the satellite accelerating? If so, how can the satellite accelerate if it travels at a constant speed? 14497445
