The apparent speed of the space shuttle is 277.78 miles per minute.
What is speed?
Speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance traveled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance. Speed is a scalar quantity and does not require direction to represent it.
Given that the space shuttle does one full orbit every 90 minutes and the Earth is 25,000 miles around.
The speed is calculated by using the formula below:-
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 25000 / 90
Speed = 277.78 miles per minute
Therefore, the apparent speed of the space shuttle is 277.78 miles per minute.
