Question

A satellite revolves around a planet at an altitude equal to the radius of the planet. The force of gravitational interaction between the satellite and the planet is F0. Then the satellite moves to a different orbit, so that its altitude is tripled. Find the new force of gravitational interaction F2. Express your answer in terms of F0.

Explanation / Answer

Force is inversely proportional to square of distance between two bodies.

so new force = F0/9
