Final answer:
The force of gravity from the Earth on a 700kg satellite 10km above the Earth's surface can be calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The force of gravity from the Earth on a satellite can be calculated using Newton's law of universal gravitation. The formula for gravitational force is F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2, where F is the force, G is the gravitational constant (6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2), m1 is the mass of Earth, m2 is the mass of the satellite, and r is the distance between the center of Earth and the satellite.
In this case, the mass of the Earth is approximately 5.97 x 10^24 kg, the mass of the satellite is 700 kg, and the distance is 10,000 meters (10 km + radius of Earth). Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
F = (6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2 * 5.97 x 10^24 kg * 700 kg) / (10,000 m)^2
Solving this equation will give you the force of gravity from the Earth on the 700 kg satellite.
