A satellite orbits the earth at a distance of 12,000 km from the earth’s center. At this distance the force of gravity on the satellite is 900N. What would the force on the satellite be if the distance were 8000 km instead? For the previous problem, find the speed of rotation of the satellites. The mass of the Earth is 6 x 1024 kg, and G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2 /kg2 .

A satellite m = 500 kg orbits the earth at a distance d = 218 km, above the surface of the planet. The radius of the earth is re = 6.38 × 106 m and the gravitational constant G = 6.67 × 10-11 N m2/kg2 and the Earth's mass is me = 5.98 × 1024 kg. What is the speed of the satellite in m/s?
An earth satellite remains in orbit at a distance of 14315 km from the center of the earth. What is its period? The universal gravitational constant is 6.67×10−11 N·m2/kg2 and the mass of the earth is 5.98×1024 kg. Answer in units of s.
What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the Earth and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which orbits the Earth? Assume the distance from the center of the Earth to the HST is 6,930 km, the mass of the Earth is 5.97 x 1024 kg, the mass of the HST is 1.11 x 104 kg, and G=6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2.
The distance between an artificial satellite and the center of the Earth is 4.50×107 m. The mass of the satellite is 450 kg and that of the Earth is me = 5.98×1024 kg. The gravitational constant G = 6.67×10-11Nm2/kg2. (a) Use Newton's law of the gravitational force to find the force between the satellite and Earth. (b) Is this force an attractive force or a repulsive force?
10) The international space station (ISS) orbits the Earth from
an altitude of 408 km.
a) Calculate the strength of Earth’s gravity on the ISS at that
altitude. (Hint: How far is the ISS from the center of mass of the
Earth?)
b) Earth’s gravity is what keeps the ISS in its orbit (which we
will assume is circular). At what speed does the ISS orbit the
Earth?
