    Satellite, magnitude/acceleration problem

    I tried using F=G(m1*m2)/r^2. i didnt know the mass of the satellitle though so i was left with multple variables. I also tried using g, but that didnt work. I guess I really don't know how to start when the satellite has an unknown weight.

    Elevator acceleration with mass

    I don't really understand what the normal force would be. IS it 9410. If so then the weight would equal 9410 with no acceleration. I can't really figure out what to do to find this though, becasue their is acceleration and a lady on it.

    Elevator acceleration with mass

    Well I know F=mass*acceleration. So 9410= 875*A. A=10.754. I don't really know what the weight of the scale would read though at that time.

    Elevator acceleration with mass

    Woman stand on a scale in a moving elevator. Her mas is 60 kg, and combined mass of elevator and scale is additional 815 kg. From rest, elevator accelerates upwards. During Acceleration, the cable applies a force of 9410N. What does the scale read during acceleration. Formula or solution...

    Satellite, magnitude/acceleration problem

    Satellites are placed in a circular orbit that is 3.59*10^7 m above surface of earth. What is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity at this distance? A formula to use or the work would be appreciated. Thanks.
