Answer:

So, given the eqn Fg=G(m1+m2/r^2) where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass of the satellite and m2 is the mass of the earth and r is the distance from earth to the satellite, the force of earths gravity should be quartered.

Cause (2r)^2 gets turned into (4r^2) where 4r^2 is compared to r^2
