Question

b) A satellite with mass m orbits the Earth at a radius r. A second satellite also with mass m orbits the
Earth at twice the radius.
How does the force of Earth's gravity acting on the two satellites
compare? PLEASE HURRY

Answer 1

Answer:

So, given the eqn Fg=G(m1+m2/r^2) where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass of the satellite and m2 is the mass of the earth and r is the distance from earth to the satellite, the force of earths gravity should be quartered.

Cause (2r)^2 gets turned into (4r^2) where 4r^2 is compared to r^2
