Give the uses of geostationary satellite and polar satellite.
(N/A) Geostationary satellites are used for:
$1$. Telecommunication: They act as relay stations for television,radio,and telephone signals.
$2$. Weather forecasting: They provide continuous monitoring of weather patterns over a specific region.
Polar satellites are used for:
$1$. Remote sensing: They are used for mapping,resource exploration,and monitoring environmental changes.
$2$. Surveillance: They are used for military reconnaissance and monitoring borders.
$3$. Scientific research: They help in studying the atmosphere and Earth's magnetic field.

View SolutionTwo satellites $A$ and $B$ are revolving around the earth in orbits of heights $1.25 R_E$ and $19.25 R_E$ from the surface of the earth respectively,where $R_E$ is the radius of the earth. The ratio of the orbital speeds of the satellites $A$ and $B$ is (in $: 1$)
If the angular velocity of a planet about its axis is halved,the distance of the stationary satellite of this planet from the centre of the planet becomes $2^{n}$ times the initial distance. Then the value of '$n$' is
$A$ particle is moving in an elliptical orbit as shown in the figure. If $\vec{p}$,$\vec{L}$,and $\vec{r}$ denote the linear momentum,angular momentum,and position vector of the particle (from focus $O$) respectively at point $A$,then the direction of $\vec{\alpha} = \vec{p} \times \vec{L}$ is along
