Question
Given that the universal gravitational constant is G=6.7×10-11 N m2/kg
If the radius of a planet is 6000.0km and its mass is 5.0×1024kg consider a satellite of mas 2500kg orbiting another 1000.0km above its surface and answer the questions below
a) Calculate the gravitational field strength (g) from the planet on the orbiting satellite. Ignore the satellite’s radius
b) What is the satellite’s ‘weight’ because of the nearby planet that it orbits around?
