orbiting at height of

1600 k m

above the earth's surface. Given

G = 6.67 \times 10^{- 11} N m^{2} / k g^{2}, R = 6400 k m, M = 6 \times 10^{24} k g

A satellite orbits the earth at a height of 400 km above the surface. How much energy must be expended to rocket the satellite out of the earth’s gravitational influence? Mass of the satellite = 200 kg; mass of the earth = 6.0 ×10²⁴ kg; radius of the earth = 6.4 ×10⁶ m; G = 6.67 × 10^–11 N m² kg^–2.
