Range Vector Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Range Vector?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

V range = V sr - [Earth-R]

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

V range = 7456km - [Earth-R]

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

V range = 7456km - 6371.0088km

Next Step Convert Units

∴

V range = 7.5E+6m - 6371.0088km

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

V range = 7.5E+6 - 6371.0088

Next Step Evaluate

∴

V range = 1084991.2m

LAST Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

V range = 1084.9912km
