1. a 700 kg satellite is in orbit 2.4 x 106 meters from the center of the earth. what is the force of
gravity on the satellite?

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on the satellite is given by:

where

G is the gravitational constant

is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the satellite

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre

Here we have

m = 700 kg

Substituting into the equation, we find:

Note that the distance mentioned in the problem (2.4 x 10^6 meters) is not realistic, since it is less than the radius of the Earth (6.37 x 10^6 meters).

the independent variable, or the one that is intentionally manipulated is the speed.

multiply 2kg by latent heat of vap
