Answer:
Approximately
.
Step-by-step explanation:
When an object of mass
is moving at a speed of
, the kinetic energy of that object will be
.
Kinetic energy of this satellite when in orbit:
.
The gravitational field near the surface of the earth is approximately uniform:
. In a uniform gravitational field, raising an object of mass
by a height of
will require
of work.
Apply unit conversion and ensure that the height of the satellite is measured in standard units (meters):
.
Work required to bring this satellite from a ground to a height of
:
.
Work required in total will be approximately:
.
