What will be the magnitude of the force of a satellite of mass 1000kg if the orbit were not close to the surface of the Earth but at a height above it equal to the Earth's radius

F = Gm·M/R²

Explanation: you need to calculate gravitational force.

M = mass of Earth

G = gravitational constant 6.67·10^-11 Nm²/ kg²

R= 6378 km ( also double this)

And mass of satellite is 1000 kg

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
