The way satellites stay in the stationary position relative to Earth.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The satellite revolves around the Earth at a height of
The satellite appears as stationary because it travels with the same
If it were positioned closer, its angular velocity would increase and the period would be less than
If positioned further, its angular velocity would decrease and the time period would increase from
Conclusion:
Satellite appears stationary because it travels with the same angular velocity as the earth.
