Question
Determine the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration of a 1200 kg satellite in geosynchronous orbit (35,786 km above Earth’s surface). The radius of Earth is 6371 km and its mass is 5.972 x 1024 kg.
Group of answer choices
9.8 m/s2
4.8 m/s2
0.0 m/s2
0.22 m/s2
 
Question 14

5 m/s2
29.4 N
15 N
44 N
Question 15

A 130.0-kg astronaut pushes on a spacecraft with a force of 250 N in “gravity-free” space.  The spacecraft has a total mass of 9.0 x 103 kg. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the astronaut during the pushing.
