- A piece of spacecraft debris initially at rest falls to the earth’s surface from a height above the earth equal to one-half of the earth’s radius. Find the speed at which the piece of debris hits the surface. Neglect air resistance and the gravitational pull of the moon.On the ground level, the weight of a satellite is W N. The satellite is launched and stays in an orbit that is R/47 above the ground level, where R is radius of the Earth. If the gravitational force on the satellite is xW at this location, determine x.GeoEye-1 is an Earth-observation satellite that provides high-resolution images for Google.
