Question

Radio signals travel at a rate of 3 × 108 meters per second. How many seconds will it take for a radio signal to travel from a satellite to the surface of the Earth if the satellite is orbiting at a height of 3.6 × 107 meters?

Answer 1

1.2 x 10^-1 seconds

Explanation:

Answer 2

1.1888 (8 goes on forever) seconds to travel from the satellite to Earth.

Explanation:

It is traveling at 3 x 108 m/s and needs to travel 3.6 x 107 m. 3 x 108=324 and 3.6 x 107=385.2 so 324 m/s for 385.2 m. 385.2/325=1.1888.
