A satellite of mass 1000 kg orbits Earth (mass = 5.97 x 10^24 kg) at a height where the gravitational field strength is 5 N/kg. Find the orbital radius and speed.
💡 Hint: Make sure to add the radius of Earth to the height.
Two objects are 10m apart, mass A is 5 kg, and mass B is 10 kg. Calculate the gravitational force between them using G = 6.674 x 10^-11 N(m/kg)².
💡 Hint: Don’t forget to square the distance.
