Use of satellites: a satellite is simply something which orbits another thing Imaging- humans, bushfires etc, wildlife, other

monitoring Communications! Other cool things!!! When launching satellites o Launch in direction of Earths spin (west to east) o At equator, where Earth spins fastest Circular motion T = period = time taken for one revolution

Orbital velocity Mass = 24.2g = 0.0242kg Time taken for 10 revolutions: 4.31s T = 0.431 s r = 0.7 m
