Asatellite weighs 104 n at ground control. what best approximates the acceleration it experiences in orbit at an altitude of twice the earth's radius iffpa = gme2thm, where r is the distance separating the centers of mass of the satellite and the earth? o a. 111 m/s2 o b. 2.5 m/s o c. 1.1 m/s2 ○ d. 0 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that net force on the Satellite due to gravity will provide it centripetal force

so we can say here

now we will have

acceleration given by the equation

now we have

r = R + 2R = 3R

also we know that acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is given as

so the acceleration of satellite is given as
