Question

A 4,000 kg satellite is traveling in a circular orbit 200 km above the surface of the Earth. A 30.0 gram marble is dropped inside the satellite. What is the force of gravity on the marble as viewed by the observers on the Earth? (M_E = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg, R_E = 6.37 × 10⁶ m, G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²)

A 5,000 kg satellite is orbiting the Earth in a circular path. The height of the satellite above the surface of the Earth is 800 km. The time it takes for the satellite to travel around the Earth is (M_E = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg, R_E = 6.37 × 10⁶ m, G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²)
