an artificial satellite is orbiting at 500 km above the earth's surface. take the radius of earth as 6.5 * 106 .
- find the acceleration due to gravity at any point along the satellite path.
- What is the centripetal acceleration of the satellite?
g` be the acceleration due to gravity at any point in the path.
g`=g(1+h)-2
=9.8(1+5006.5*106)-2
centripetal acc =GMm2
g`=g(1+h)-2
=9.8(1+5006.5*106)-2
centripetal acc =GMm2
