Explanation / Answer

G = 6.67259 X 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2 ME = 5.98 X 10^24 kg RE = 6.37 X 10^6 m
(1.) A satellite has a mass of 69 kg and is located at 1.66 X10^6 m above Earth's surface. What is the potential energy of thesatellite-Earth system? Answer in units of J.
potential energy=GMm/R+h
                     =6.67259 X 10^-11* 5.98 X 10^24*69/(6.37 X10^6+1.66 X 10^6)
                =342.869*107J

(2.) What is the magnitude of the gravitational force exertedby Earth on the satellite? Answer in units of N.
F=GMm/(R+h)2=6.67259 X 10^-11* 5.98 X10^24*69/(6.37 X 10^6+1.66 X 10^6)2
                         =426.98N
ME = 5.98 X 10^24 kg RE = 6.37 X 10^6 m
(1.) A satellite has a mass of 69 kg and is located at 1.66 X10^6 m above Earth's surface. What is the potential energy of thesatellite-Earth system? Answer in units of J.
potential energy=GMm/R+h
                     =6.67259 X 10^-11* 5.98 X 10^24*69/(6.37 X10^6+1.66 X 10^6)
                =342.869*107J

(2.) What is the magnitude of the gravitational force exertedby Earth on the satellite? Answer in units of N.
F=GMm/(R+h)2=6.67259 X 10^-11* 5.98 X10^24*69/(6.37 X 10^6+1.66 X 10^6)2
                         =426.98N
