A 500 kg satellite is in a orbit at an altitude of 500 km above the earth's surface. because of the air friction, the satellite eventually falls to the earth's surface, where it hits the ground with a speed of 2.00 km/s.how much energy was transformed into the internal energy by means of friction?
I really got no clue to solve this one. Could you guy give me some instructions? If you could, give me a lecture about this type of problem. Thank you
