Question

A satellite has a mass of 369 kg and is located at 2.01 times 10^6 m above the surface of Earth. What is the potential energy associated with the satellite at this location? J What is the magnitude of the gravitational force on the satellite? N Two objects attract each other with a gravitational force of magnitude 9.30 Times 10^-9 N when separated by 19.8 cm. If the total mass of the objects is 5.04 kg, what is the mass of each? Heavier mass 3.23 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error, kg lighter mass 1.80 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations, kg

Explanation / Answer

7)

potential energy

U = -GMm/r

r = 6.371 x10^6 +2.01 x10^6 = 8.381 x 10^6

therefore

U = -1.753 x 10^10 J

b)

Force = GMm/r^2

F = 2092.57 N
