A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled 2.0 × 107 meters and is only 10 meters away from its starting point. What is the numerical value of the satellite's average velocity after that one hour?

Answer:

shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

2 x 10⁷ as a number is 20,000,000

20,000,000 - 10 = 19,999,990

It went 19,999,990 m/h

in km/h:

19,999,990 / 1000 = 19,999.99 km/h

in km/s

19,999,990 / 3,600,000 = ~5.56 km/s

in m/s

19,999,990 / 3600 = ~5555.56 m/s
