A 3000-kg satellite orbits the Earth in a circular orbit 11797 km above the Earth's surface (Earth radius = 6380 km, Earth Mass = 5.97x1024 kg). What is the gravitational force (in newtons, N) between the satellite and the Earth? Hint: The radius of the Earth + the height of the orbit = the center-to-center distance needed for the equation. You also need the universal gravitational constant (G), which is not 9.81 m/s2. Be careful. Gmim2 F
