Two satellites are in circular equatorial orbits of different altitudes. Satellite A is in a geosynchronous orbit (one with the sameperiod as the earth's rotation so that it "hovers" over the same spot on the equator). Satellite B has an orbit of radius rg = 26000 km. Calculate the velocity which A appears to have to an observer fixed in B when the elevation angle is (a) O and (b) 90°The x-y axes are attached to B, whose antenna always points toward the center of the earth (-y-direction).BTATBAnswers:(a) 0=0:Vrel= (iİ + ij) km/h(b) 90° Vrel = (ii + ij) km/h

Artificial satellites that orbit Earth often use VHF signals to communicate with the ground. VHF signals travel in straight lines. The height h of the satellite above Earth and the time T that the satellite can communi- cate with a fixed location on the ground are related by the model h = R ¢ 1 cos 180T P - 1≤ , where R = 3955 mi is the radius of Earth and P is the period for the satellite to orbit Earth.
