Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A geostationary satellite travels from west to east over the equator. It moves in the same direction and at the same rate Earth is spinning. From Earth, a geostationary satellite looks like it is standing still since it is always above the same location.
Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, it so because the oribital speed of a satellite is independent of the mass of a satellite. Therefore, the speeds of the artificial satellites of different masses but of the same orbital radius will be the same.
Detailed explanation-3: -Two satellites of same mass of a planet in circular orbits have periods of revolution 32 days and 256 days. If the radius of the orbit of the first is x, then the.
