Question 3 of 30 A satellite with a mass of 100 kg fires its engines to increase velocity, thereby
increasing the size of its orbit about Earth. As a result, it moves from a
circular orbit of radius 7.5 x 106 m to an orbit of radius 7.7 x 106 m. What is
the approximate change in gravitational force from Earth as a result of this
change in the satellite's orbit? (Recall that Earth has a mass of 5.97 x 1024 kg
and G = 6.67 10-11 N·m2/kg?)
