The satellite A is in a circular polar orbit (a circular orbit that intersects the earth’s axis of rotation). The radius of the orbit is R, and the magnitude of the satellite’s velocity relative to a nonrotating reference frame with its origin at the center of the earth is vA. At the instant shown, the satellite is above the equator. An observer B on the earth directly below the satellite measures its motion using the earth-fixed coordinate system shown. What are the velocity and acceleration of the satellite relative to B’s earth-fixed coordinate system? The radius of the earth is RE and the angular velocity of the earth is ωE. (See Example 17.12.)
