16. Earth has a mass of 5.98x1024 kg and a radius of 6.38x10 m. A 150 kg satellite is placed into orbit at an altitude of 400 km as shown above (NOT to scale). (A) Draw a free body diagram on the right hand picture for the satellite. (B) What is the force of gravity acting on the satellite? (C) What is the centripetal acceleration experienced by the satellite? (D) What is the orbital speed of the satellite? (E) What is the orbital period of the satellite? (F) How would the orbital period of a 300 kg satellite compare to the period for the 150 kg satellite? Explain. (G) How would the orbital period of a 150 kg satellite at an altitude of 600 km compare to the period for the 150 kg satellite at an altitude of 400 km? Explain.
