Question
A 6250-kg satellite is in a circular earth orbit that has a radius of 2.43 x 107 m. A net external force must act on the satellite to make it
change to a circular orbit that has a radius of 7.48 × 106 m. What work must the net external force do? Note that the work determined
here is not the work Wlift done by the satellite's engines to change the orbit. Instead, the work W is W = Wlift + Wgravitational, where
Wgravitational is the work done by the gravitational force.
