To find: The equation of the weather satellite that circles 0.6 unit above earth with the centre of its circular orbit at the centre of earth.
Answer to Problem 53AYU
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Equation of the circle
Equation of the circle
Compare this equation with the following standard equation of the circle to find the centre and radius of earth:
Therefore, the centre of the earth is and radius is 64 units.
Now the centre of the orbit of the satellite is and radius is 64.6 units. The equation of the orbit of the satellite is:
