Text Solution

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 follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between gravitational force and centripetal force The gravitational force acting on the satellite provides the necessary centripetal force for it to maintain its circular orbit. The gravitational force \( F_g \) is given by: \[ F_g = \frac{G M m}{r^2} \] ...
