AI Generated Solution

To find the acceleration due to gravity at the height where a satellite is orbiting with a velocity of 4 km/s, we can use the relationship between centripetal acceleration and gravitational acceleration. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between centripetal acceleration and gravitational acceleration For a satellite in orbit, the centripetal acceleration (a_c) is provided by the gravitational force. Thus, we can write: \[ a_c = g_h \] where \( g_h \) is the acceleration due to gravity at the height of the satellite. ### Step 2: Write the formula for centripetal acceleration ...
