A satellite is rotating around Earth at 0.2 radians per hour at an altitude of 252 km above Earth. If the radius of Earth is 6,378 kilometers, find the linear speed of the satellite in kilometers per hour.



Enter the exact answer.



The linear speed of the satellite is
Number
kilometers per hour.

Answer :

The linear speed based on the information is 1326 km/h.

How to calculate the speed?

The radius will be:

= 6378 + 252

= 6630 km

The angular speed is 0.2. The linear speed will be:

= 6630 × 0.2

= 1326 km/h.
