How do you find the time required for one complete revolution. Satellites that are used for satellite television must stay over the same point on Earth at all times, so that the receiving antenna is always pointed at the satellite. This is known as a geostationary orbit and requires an orbit at a distance of approximately 35,900 km above Earth's surface. Determine the angular velocity and orbital speed of a geostationary orbit.
i can help , one second, helping someone else
dont leave, this is a good question
Okay, Thank you so much. I've tried for hours and can't figure it out.
ok im back
for angular velocity, what units should we use?
radians/second
A geostationary orbit is a circular orbit directly above the Earth's equator approximately such that any point on the equator plane revolves about the Earth in the same direction and with the same period as the Earth's rotation.
