A communications satellite is in a synchronous orbit that is 3.6×107 m directly above the equator. The satellite is located between two cities almost on the equator that are separated by a distance of 2.9×106 m. Find the time it takes for a telephone call to go by way of satellite between these cities. Ignore the curvature of the earth. Number Units

A plane mirror and a concave mirror (f = 7.30 cm) are facing each other and are separated by a distance of 18.0 cm. An object is placed between the mirrors and is 9.00 cm from each mirror. Consider the light from the object that reflects first from the plane mirror and then from the concave mirror. Find the location of the image that this light produces in the concave mirror. Specify this distance relative to the concave mirror. Number Units cm
