If the paint chip leaves at a speed of 96 metres per second relative to the satellite, then it will be 96*17 = 1632 metres from the satellite.

easy- i guess..

distance= s x t

= 96/17

= 96 x 17

=1632 m / per sec

Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?

A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.

Why geostationary satellite not falling to ground?

Because they're moving 'sideways' at more than 6,000 miles per hour, out where the acceleration of gravity is only about 3% of what it is on Earth's surface. The satellite is falling allright, but the Earth's curved surface is falling away exactly as fast as the satellite itself is falling toward it, so the satellite's altitiude above the surface never changes.


How many seconds does it take for a microwave to travel from earth to the satellite and back to earth?

Assuming a geosyncronous communications satellite, it is 35,900 km above the surface of the earth. If you are directly beneath it, a microwave will travel at the speed of light (300,000km/s) there and back through this distance. Thus: 2 * 35,900 /300,000 = 0.240 seconds. Note that this is larger if the sender and recipient are located far away, because of the angle.


A satellite communication system why is the geostationary orbit preferred?
