Answer:
[tex]T=66262.4s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Altitude [tex]A=2.90 *10^7[/tex]
Mass [tex]m=5.97 * 10^{24} kg[/tex]
Radius [tex]r=6.38 *10^6 m.[/tex]
Generally the equation for Satellite Speed is mathematically given by
[tex]V=(\frac{GM}{d} )^{0.5}[/tex]
[tex]V=(\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*5.97 * 10^{24}}{6.38 *10^6+2.90 *10^7} )^{0.5}[/tex]
[tex]V=3354.83m/s[/tex]
Therefore
Period T is Given as
[tex]T=\frac{2 \pi *a}{V}[/tex]
[tex]T=\frac{2 \pi *(6.38 *10^6+2.90 *10^7}{3354.83}[/tex]
[tex]T=66262.4s[/tex]
