PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!! 30 POINTS!!!!!! The speed of a space shuttle orbiting the earth is 17,600 mph.
The graph below shows the distance d (in thousands of miles) traveled in t hours by a weather satellite
orbiting the earth.
Which orbits the earth at a greater speed, the space shuttle or the weather satellite?
Choose 1 answer:
A)The space shuttle
B) The weather satellite
C) They have the same speed.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A or space shuttle.

Answer 2

The speed of the space shuttle is greater than the speed of the weather satellite. Then the correct option is A.

What is speed?

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

The speed of a space shuttle orbiting the earth is 17,600 miles per hour (28,324.43 km/h).

The graph below shows the distance d (in thousands of miles) traveled in t hours by a weather satellite orbiting the earth.

Then the speed of the weather satellite orbiting the earth will be

The weather satellite covers 34,000 miles (54,717.7 km) in 2 hours. Then the speed of the weather satellite will be

Speed = 34,000 / 2

Speed = 17,000 miles per hour (27,358.83 km/h)

The speed of the space shuttle is greater than the speed of the weather satellite.

Then the correct option is A.
