Solved: A 6200-kg satellite is in a circular earth orbit
Chapter 6, Problem 6.92(choose chapter or problem)
A 6200-kg satellite is in a circular earth orbit that has a radius of 3.3 107 m. A net external force must act on the satellite to make it change to a circular orbit that has a radius of 7.0 106 m. What work W must the net external force do? Note that the work determined here is not the work Wlift done by the satellites engines to change the orbit. Instead, the work W is W Wlift Wgravitational, where Wgravitational is the work done by the gravitational force. *
