(2 points) A satellite is orbiting the earth. If a payload of material is added until it doubles the satellite's mass, the earth's pull of gravity on this satellite will double but the satellite's orbit will not be affected.
Homework Answers
earth's pull of gravity = m*g
if mass is doubled,then earth's pull of gravity also doubles
satellite's orbit does not depend on the mass of the satellite
,then satellite's orbit will not be affected
So the Given statement is TRUE
Add Answer to:
(2 points) A satellite is orbiting the earth. If a payload of
material is added until...

A satellite moves in orbit about the Earth at a height of 9500 km above the Earth's surface. Find: a) the velocity of the satellite; b) its period of rotation; c) the magnitude of the Earth's gravitational force on the satellite if it has a mass of 2500 kg; d) if the satellite's velocity is increased by 20%, at what height must it now orbit above the Earth? (Note: Changing the satellite's velocity also changes the satellite's period of rotation).
