Question

A satellite has a mass of 100 kg and is located at 2.00 x 10^6 m above the surface of earth. What is the potential energy associated with the satellite at this location?

Answer 1

Answer:

1960x10^6 joule

Explanation:

formula of potential energy =mgh

where m is the mass ,g is the gravitational accelaration and h is the hieght.

$\boxed{given}$

h=2.00 x 10^6

m=100kg

g=9.8m/s^2

$p = 2.00 \times 10 {}^{6}m \times 100kg \times 9.8m \: per \: second {}^{2}$

$p = 1960 \times 10 {}^{6} joule$
