Determine the minimum amount of energy needed to move a satellite from its orbit around the earth to an infinite distance from the earth. the mass of the satellite is 7.45 x 10^3 kg and its orbital radius is 7.50 x 10^6 m. take the mass of the earth to be 5.97 x 10^24 kg.

Explanation:

Given

mass of satellite

orbital radius

mass of Earth

Minimum amount of Energy to move Satellite from its orbit to an infinite distance is sum of Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy of Satellite

Where

i.e. Energy is required to provide to move Satellite out of its orbit

f=ma a/f/m a= 480/60 a = 8m/s/s that is quick wow
