Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m = 980 kg , are launched into circular orbits around the Earth's center. Satellite A orbits at an altitude of 4100 km , and satellite B orbits at an altitude of 12100 km The radius of Earth RE is 6370 km. (a) What is the ratio of the potential energy of satellite B to that of satellite A, in orbit?
(b) What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of satellite B to that of satellite A, in orbit?
(c) Which satellite has the greater total energy if each has a mass of 14.6 kg?
(d) By how much?

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
