1) geo-stationary satellite are _____ than earth?

Question

faster, slower, same speed, none

Answer 1

Same Speed.

That is the correct answer in the context of those choices, but your teacher worded the question badly. It should read:
Geo-stationary satellites are ____ then the surface of the earth over the equator.

So maybe you could get extra credit by pointing that out to your teacher (or you might make him/her mad, too).

.

Answer 2

Same speed;Because it has to focus the same place ,same country or same earth's disc always.Its longitude position will always be the same as desired by the country which launchd the satellite.Generally it is put into an orbit exactly over equator at a height of 35800 Kms so that it can cover the entire disc of the earth and takes 25 minutes to scan the full earth's disc once.

Answer 3

Same speed. GS satellites are located at a distance of 36000 km from the earth's surface. there are 3 such satellites around the earth with a covering range angle of 120 degrees each thus all parts of the planet's surface are covered by these satellites.

Answer 4

The angular speed, omega, is the same so as to maintain position over the same spot on the Earth's surface (that's what geostationary means), but the satellite's tangential speed is greater than the Earth's equatorial speed, since the satellite is a further distance away from the Earth's centre: v = r * omega.

Answer 5

same speed.geostationary means which moves along wid earth.

Answer 6

its time period is same as that of earth. so i think its none

Answer 7

same speed

Answer 8

i think its faster....

Answer 9

same speed yar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
