I don`t understand the solution for the following question:
A satellite is in orbit around the earth. Consider the following quantities:
1. distance from the center of the earth
2. mass of the earth
3. mass of the satellite
The gravitational acceleration g depends on which of the above?
The solution is 1 and 2.
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every mass in the universe attracts every other mass in the universe.
the equation is F= Gm1m2/r² where m1 is the Earth and m2 should be the satellite.
thank you.
