Assume you get a job at NASA and you are asked to calculate the gravitational force that will be acting on a new satellite they plan to launch into space. Calculate the force between Earth, which has a mass of 5.97*1024 kg, and the satellite, which has a mass of 277 kilograms. Assume that NASA wants the satellite to orbit Earth at a distance of 35,749 meters.
