Assume you get a job at NASA and you are asked to calculate the gravitational force that will be acting on a new satellite they plan to launch into space. Calculate the force between Earth, which has a mass of 5.97*1024 kg, and the satellite, which has a mass of 391 kilograms. Assume that NASA wants the satellite to orbit Earth at a distance of 36,438 meters. • G= 6.67 x 10-11 N\cdot-m2/kg? • Answer in scientific notation ( #*10^#) • Answer with 3 significant figures • Do NOT include units in your response
