As measured by an observer on the earth, be any difference in the periods of two satellites, each in a circular orbit near the earth in an equatorial Plane but one moving eastward and the other westward?

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of two satellites in circular orbits around the Earth, one moving eastward and the other moving westward. Let's break down the solution step by step: ### Step 1: Understanding the Setup We have two satellites, Satellite A moving eastward and Satellite B moving westward, both in circular orbits around the Earth. They are in the same orbit, which means they have the same radius from the center of the Earth. **Hint:** Consider the direction of motion of each satellite and how it relates to the Earth's rotation. ### Step 2: Angular Velocity of the Satellites ...
