What's the total mechanical energy of a 400kg satellite in circular orbit 1100km above Earth's surface?
Total mechanical energy E = G*mE*m/2r
here r is radius of circular orbit =Radius of earth+1100 km =
6380+1100 = 7480 km
(6.67*10^-11*5.97*10^24*400)/(2*7.48*10^6) = 1.06*10^10

What's the total mechanical energy of a 400kg satellite in circular orbit 1100km above Earth's surface?
A 600 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 475 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually falls to the Earth's surface, where it hits the ground with a speed of 2.50 km/s. How much energy was transformed into internal energy by means of air friction? 1.88e10
A 270 kg satellite is orbiting on a circular orbit 6180 km above the Earth's surface. Determine the speed of the satellite. (The mass of the Earth is 5.97×1024 kg, and the radius of the Earth is 6370 km.)
