A certain satellite has a kinetic energy of 8 billion joules at perigee (The point closest to earth) and 5 billion joules at apogee(Point farthest from earth). As the satellite travels from apogee to Parigi, how much work does the gravitational force due on it? Does its potential energy increase or decrease during this time, and by how much?
A certain satellite has a kinetic energy of 8 billion joules at perigee (the point at which it is closest to Earth) and 5 billion joules at apogee (the point at which it is farthest from Earth).
