Question

Ageostationary satellite for communication seems to be in afixed spot above the equator because it has the same angular velocity as the earth? B.geostationary satellite are placed in orbits of radius 4.2×10power4m use this information to deduce g the acceleration of freely falling body at this height​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational force equation is the following:



Where:

G = Gravitational constant = 

m1 & m2 = the mass of two related objects

r = distance between the two related objects

The problem gives you everything you need to plug into the formula, except for the gravitational constant. Let me know if you need further clarification.
