An artificial Earth satellite in orbit has a speed of 8 km / s. What path does it cover in 1 minute?

v = 8 km / s = 8000 m / s;

t = 1 min = 60 s;

S -?

Let us find the path by the formula S = v * t, where S is the path, v is the speed, t is the time.

To do this, we substitute the known values of speed and time and calculate.

S = 8000 m / s * 60 s = 480,000 m.

Answer: an artificial satellite of the Earth covers 480,000 m per minute.
