a.
The mass of each satellite.
a.
Answer to Problem 67A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The distance between two satellites is
The gravitational force between them is
Formula used:
Gravitational force:
Where,
Calculation:
The value of gravitational constant is,
Then using the given values of the gravitational force and the distance, the mass of each satellite will be,
Conclusion:
Thus, the mass of each satellite is
b.
The initial acceleration given to each satellite by the gravitational force.
b.
Answer to Problem 67A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The gravitational force between the satellites is
From part (a), the mass of each satellite is
Formula used:
Newton’s second law of motion,
Where
Calculation:
Now, the initial acceleration of the satellite due to the gravitational force will be,
Conclusion:
Thus, the initial acceleration of the satellite due to the gravitational force is
