Question

- The gravitational force on a 352 kg satellite is -2100 N. Find its
distance from Earth's center.

Answer 1

Answer:

8173.8 km

Explanation:

Fg=G(M*m/r^2)

r=sqrt(G*M*m/Fg)

G=6.6743*10^-11

M(earth)=5.972*10^24kg

M(object)=352kg

Fg=-2100N

r=sqrt((6.6743*10^-11)*(5.972*10^24kg)*(352)/-2100)

r=8173808m

r=8173.8km
