A satellite with a mass of 150 kg fires its engines to increase velocity, thereby increasing the size of its orbit about Earth. As a result, it moves from a circular orbit of radius 7.5 x 106 m to an orbit of radius 7.7 x 106 m. What is the approximate change in gravitational force from Earth as a result of this change in the satellite's orbit? (Recall that Earth has a mass of 5.97 x 1024 kg and G= 6.67 x 10-11 Nm²/kg².)

A satellite with a mass of 150 kg fires its engines to increase velocity, thereby
increasing the size of its orbit about Earth. As a result, it moves from a
circular orbit of radius 7.5 x 106 m to an orbit of radius 7.7 x 106 m. What is
the approximate change in gravitational force from Earth as a result of this
change in the satellite's orbit? (Recall that Earth has a mass of 5.97 x 1024 kg
and G= 6.67 x 10- 1¹1 N-m²/kg².)
