Question

A communication satellite circles Earth in a geosynchronous orbit such that the satellite remains directly above the same point on the surface of Earth. What angular displacement (in radians) does the satellite undergo in 4.0 h of its orbit? Calculate the angular speed of the satellite in rev/min. Calculate the angular speed of the satellite in rad/s.
