1. A satellite (mass = 4.44 x 109 kg) travels in orbit around the Earth at a distance of 1.9 x 10'm above Earth's surface. What is the force of gravitational attraction between the satellite and Earth?

The force of gravitational attraction between the satellite and Earth is newtons.

Explanation:

Statement is incorrect. Correct statement is:

A satellite () travels in orbit around the Earth at a distance of above Earth's surface. What is the force of gravitational attraction between the satellite and Earth?

The gravitational force experimented by the satellite (), in newtons, is calculated by Newton's Law of Gravitation, whose equation is defined by following formula:

(1)

Where:

- Gravitational constant, in cubic meters per kilogram-square second.

- Mass of the satellite, in kilograms.

- Mass of the Earth, in kilograms.

- Distance of the satellite with respect to the center of the Earth, measured in meters.

If we know that , , and , then the force of gravitational attraction between the satellite and Earth is:

The force of gravitational attraction between the satellite and Earth is newtons.

i think it's 35 meters
