Explanation:
The change in potential energy of the man is given by:
where
m is the man's mass
g is the gravitational acceleration
is the change in height of the man
In this problem, we have:
is the gain in potential energy
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration
is the change in height
Re-arranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find the mass:
<h2>Answer:

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:
(1)
Where:
is the gravity constant
the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting
the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).
Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>
In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.
