Artificial Satellites The worlds first artificial satellite was Sputnik I, launched in 1957 by the Soviet Union. GPS-Global Positioning Satellite 2-15. Artificial Satellites The escape speed is the speed required by an object to leave the gravitational influence of an astronomical body; for earth this speed is about 40,000 km/h. 2-15.

Speed Definitions: Speed The rate at which something moves a given distance. Faster speeds = greater distances General formula for speed: Speed = distance / time Abbreviations commonly used: d = distance t = time v = speed v = d/t 2-1. Speed Velocity Distance Time 2-1. Speed Average speed is the total distance traveled by an object divided by the time taken to travel that distance.? Instantaneous speed is an objects speed at a given instant of time. 2-2. Vectors Magnitude of a quantity tells how large the quantity is. Scalar quantities have magnitude only. Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. 2-2. Vectors Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. 2-3. Accelera
