SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME IM GOING INSANE 4 Select the correct answer. A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled 2.0 x 107 meters and is only 10 meters away from its starting point. What is the numerical value of the satellite's average velocity after that one hour? O A. -3.77 x 10-2 meters/second OB. -2.77 x 10-3 meters/second OC. -2.62 x 10-2 meters/second D. -5.55 x 103 meters/second​

Hi there!

Since we are dealing with such large distances, we can approximate.

Recall that the equation for speed is:

displacement / time = velocity

OR:

d/t = v

Begin by converting one hour to seconds:

1 hr  = 3600 sec

Now, we can solve for velocity:

(-2.0 × 10⁷) / 3600 = -5555.6 m/s ⇒ D: -5.55 × 10³ m/s
