Question

If a satellite is launched to a distance of 1000000m above the earth’s surface, what is the gravitational field strength on the satellite from the earth?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A 620 kg satellite above the earth's surface experiences a gravitational field strength of 4.5 N/kg.

Knowing the gravitational field strength at Earth’s sur-

face and Earth’s radius, how far above Earth’s surface

is the satellite? (Use ratio and proportion.)
