Chapter 2: Problem 13
A satellite in orbit around the Earth at a distance \(R=6800 \mathrm{~km}\) from the Earth's center, completes 3 complete orbits in \(4.5\) hours. The satellite's average speed in \(\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s}\) is: (A) \(\frac{2 \pi(6800)}{1.5} \frac{1}{3600}\) (B) \(\frac{2 \pi(6800)}{4.5} \frac{1}{3600}\) (C) \(\frac{6800(3600)}{2 \pi(4.5)}\) (D) \(\frac{2 \pi(3600)}{4.5(6800)}\) (E) \(\frac{2 \pi}{1.5(6800)} \frac{1}{3600}\)
