Detailed Solution

An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of the radius of 42250 km. If it takes 24 hours to revolve around the earth, its speed is 11065.48 km/hr.
Given: radius = 42250 km, time = 24 h
Formula:
Length of orbit = circumference of the orbit
        =2πr
        =2×227×42250
        =265571.43 km
We know,
Speed =length of orbittime
  =265571.4324
             =11065.48 km/hr
