The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angular speed of satellite \( S_2 \) as observed from satellite \( S_1 \). Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Period of satellite \( S_1 \) (\( T_1 \)) = 1 hour = 3600 seconds - Period of satellite \( S_2 \) (\( T_2 \)) = 8 hours = 28800 seconds - Radius of the orbit of \( S_1 \) (\( R_1 \)) = \( 10^4 \) km = \( 10^7 \) m ### Step 2: Use Kepler's Third Law to find the radius of \( S_2 \) According to Kepler's Third Law: \[ \frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2} = \frac{R_1^3}{R_2^3} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \frac{(3600)^2}{(28800)^2} = \frac{(10^7)^3}{R_2^3} \] Calculating the left side: \[ \frac{12960000}{829440000} = \frac{1}{64} \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{(10^7)^3}{R_2^3} = \frac{1}{64} \] This implies: \[ R_2^3 = 64 \times (10^7)^3 \] Taking the cube root: \[ R_2 = 4 \times 10^7 \text{ m} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the angular velocities of \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) The angular velocity (\( \omega \)) is given by: \[ \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \] For satellite \( S_1 \): \[ \omega_1 = \frac{2\pi}{T_1} = \frac{2\pi}{3600} \text{ rad/s} \] For satellite \( S_2 \): \[ \omega_2 = \frac{2\pi}{T_2} = \frac{2\pi}{28800} \text{ rad/s} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the angular speed of \( S_2 \) as observed from \( S_1 \) The angular speed of \( S_2 \) as observed from \( S_1 \) is given by: \[ \omega_{S_2}^{obs} = \omega_2 - \omega_1 \] Substituting the values: \[ \omega_{S_2}^{obs} = \frac{2\pi}{28800} - \frac{2\pi}{3600} \] Finding a common denominator (28800): \[ \omega_{S_2}^{obs} = \frac{2\pi}{28800} - \frac{16\pi}{28800} = \frac{-14\pi}{28800} \] Simplifying: \[ \omega_{S_2}^{obs} = -\frac{7\pi}{14400} \text{ rad/s} \] ### Conclusion The angular speed of satellite \( S_2 \) as observed from satellite \( S_1 \) is: \[ \omega_{S_2}^{obs} = -\frac{7\pi}{14400} \text{ rad/s} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the angular speed of satellite \( S_2 \) as observed from satellite \( S_1 \). Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Period of satellite \( S_1 \) (\( T_1 \)) = 1 hour = 3600 seconds - Period of satellite \( S_2 \) (\( T_2 \)) = 8 hours = 28800 seconds - Radius of the orbit of \( S_1 \) (\( R_1 \)) = \( 10^4 \) km = \( 10^7 \) m ### Step 2: Use Kepler's Third Law to find the radius of \( S_2 \) ...
