Help? A weather satellite in circular orbit around Earth completes one orbit every 5 hours. The radius of Earth is about 6,400 km and the satellite is positioned 4,700 km above the Earth. How far does the satellite travel in 1 hour? Round your answer to the nearest kilometer.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The radius of the circular orbit the satellite travels is 6400+4700 = 11100 km

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

use this radius to find the circumference of this orbit after you find the circumference tell me what you get (it's not the final answer, but it will get you there)
