A satellite orbits the earth at a height of 500 km from its surface. Compute its (i) Kinetic energy, (ii) potential energy, and (iii) total energy. Mass of the satellite=300 kg, Mass of the earth=`6.0xx10^(24)`kg, radius of the earth=`6.4xx10^(6)`m, G=`6.67xx10^(-11)Nm^(2)Kg^(-2)`. Will your answer alter if the earth were to shrink suddenly to half its size?

A satellite orbits the earth at a height of 3.6xx10^(6)m from its surface. Compute it’s a kinetic energy, b. potential energy, c. total energy. Mass of the satellite =500kg mass of the earth =6xx10^(24) kg, radius of the earth =6.4xx10^(6), G=6.67xx10^(-11)Nm^(2)kg^(-2) .

If a spaceship orbits the earth at a height of 500 km from its surface, then determine its (i) kinetic energy, (ii) potential energy, and (iii) total energy (iv) binding energy. Mass of the satellite = 300 kg, Mass of the earth = 6xx10^(24) kg , radius of the earth = 6.4 xx 10^(6) m, G=6.67 xx 10^(-11) "N-m"^(2) kg^(-2) . Will your answer alter if the earth were to shrink suddenly to half its size ?
