  1. Mass of the satellite only
  2. Mass of the Earth only
  3. Distance from the Earth
  4. All of the above

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The gravitational force acting on a satellite in orbit is dependent on which of the following?
  • Step 1: Understand that gravitational force is the pull between two masses.
  • Step 2: Identify the two masses involved: the mass of the satellite and the mass of the Earth.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the distance between the satellite and the center of the Earth also affects the gravitational force.
  • Step 4: Remember that Newton's law of gravitation states that the gravitational force increases with greater mass and decreases with greater distance.
