A sateltle orbits at a height of 6,000 km above the earth's surface. REarth = 6.38 x 10° m, mEarth = 5.98 x 1024 kg. What is this satelite's speed, in km/s (kilometer per second)? Use G = 6.67 x 10-11 N-m2/kg2. Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

One mole of Gold (Au) atom has a mass of 197 g. We know that the density of gold is 19.30 g/cm3 in room temperature. Using those numbers, answer the following questions: a) What is the mass of a single gold atom in kg? b) Assume that gold atoms sit in a perfect cubic crystal structure. Estimate the distance between two gold atoms in meters. c) If we have a gold cube of 6 cm on each side, how many atoms can we fit along the edge of each side of the cube? d) What would be the mass, in kilograms, of the gold cube we discussed in part (c) (measuring 6 cm on each side)?
