Determine the simplified ratio of the velocities of a low earth satellite travelling 300 km above the Earth's surface and a geostationary satellite traveling 35700 km above the Earth's surface
I performed a lab using a toy car to go down a ramp that was positioned at different heights. For expample: ramp height = 40 cm, ramp length = 121.92 cm, time car took to clear the ramp from start = .86 seconds, distance car traveled from end of ramp to stopping point = 937.26 cm, mass of car = .54 kg Based off this information, how can I calculate the portion of the force of gravity that is pushing the car down the ramp in the proper SI Units?

A satellite in orbit around the earth is at an altitude of 137.7 percent of the earth's radius. Rounding off our old friend "g" to ten meters per second squared, what is the acceleration due to earth's gravity at the satellite? Your answer should be in meters per second squared
NASA is expected to send a 2600-kg satellite 450 km above the earth’s surface. Radius is 6.83x106 m (a) What speed will it have? (Hint: Earth’s mass is 5.97 × 1024kg)
One type of engine used in space travel is an ion thruster. These engines produce a low force that results in small acceleration changes. If an ion-thrust engine is used to apply 87 millinewtons [mN] of force on a satellite with a mass of 1.7 megagrams [Mg], what is the acceleration produced in units of meters per second squared [m/s2]?
In the law of universal gravitation, Newton assumed that the force was proportional to the product of the two masses (m1m2) . While all scientific conjectures must be experimentally verified, can you provided arguments as to why this must be? (You may wish to consider simple examples in which any other form would lead to contradictory results.)
