7.) A sateltle orbits at a height of 6,000 km above the earth’s surface. REarth = 6.38 × 106 m, mEarth = 5.98 × 1024 kg. What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration g at this height, in m/s2? Use G = 6.67 × 10-11 N·m2/kg2. Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
1). A 650 kg satellite orbits Earth with a speed of 5.3 km/s at a distance of 3.5x 107 m from Earth’s centre. Mass of the Earth = 5.98 x1024kg, G = 6.67x 10-11 Nm2 /kg2 . (a) Calculate the acceleration of the satellite. (b) Calculate the gravitational force on the satellite.
1. Gravity: A satellite circles the earth three times per day (it has an 8-hour period). Given Mearth = 5.98x1024 kg, rearth = 6.38x10° km, and G=6.67x10" Nm²/kg², and assuming the orbit is circular, a. Find the radius of the orbit, how many earth radii is it? b. What is the speed of the satellite (in km/s)? c. What is the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity at that radius, i.e. what is "g" at the satellite radius? How much stronger is g at the Earth's surface (what is g/g.t_sat)?

11 Astronomical observations of our Milky Way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about 8.0 x 10- solar masses. A star orbiting near the galaxy's periphery is 5.9 x 10" light-years from its center. (a) What should the orbital period (in y) of that star be? y. (b) If its period is 6.1 x 10' years instead, what is the mass (in solar masses) of the galaxy? Such calculations are used to imply the existence of other matter, such as a very massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. solar masses
