For a satellite orbiting Earth, the time required to complete a single orbit is known as the period. The period P, in hours, is related to the distance D, in miles, from the center of Earth by the formula
.
Does an increase in period have a greater effect on distance for a satellite with a longer period or for a satellite with a shorter period? A graph of D versus P can help you answer this question.
What will be an ideal response?
The effect is greater for a satellite with a shorter period.
