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 × 10^6` m; G = `6.67 × 10^(–11)` N `m^2`

As you have learnt in the text, a geostationary satellite orbits the earth at a height of nearly 36,000 km from the surface of the earth. What is the potential due to earth’s gravity at the site of this satellite ? (Take the potential energy at infinity to be zero). Mass of the earth = `6.0×10^(24)` kg, radius = 6400
A rocket is fired from the earth towards the sun. At what distance from the earth’s centre is the gravitational force on the rocket zero ? Mass of the sun = `2×10^(30)` kg, mass of the earth = `6×10^(24)` kg. Neglect the effect of other planets etc. (orbital radius = `1.5 × 10^(11)`
