A 4500-kg spaceship is in a circular orbit 190 km above the surface of Earth. It needs to be moved into a higher circular orbit

of 380 km to link up with the space station at that altitude. In this problem you can take the mass of the Earth to be 5.97 × 1024 kg.
I am confused how to solve this problem, please show how this answer is obtained.

Answer:

Explanation:

Total energy of a satellite in an orbit , h height away

= -  GMm /2 ( R + h )

When h = 380 km

Total energy of a satellite = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.97\times10^{24}\times 4500}{2\times(6378+380)\times10^3}

=  - 13.25 x 10¹⁰ J

When h = 190 km

Total energy of a satellite =

\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.97\times10^{24}\times 4500}{2\times(6378+190)\times10^3}

=   - 13.63 x 10¹⁰ J

Diff

= 38 x 10⁸ J Energy will be required.

Answer:

Mass can never be negative. Everything has mass. Just like how they ask you to find area under the graph in maths. If the area is in the 3rd and 4th quadrant, when calculated, you would get negative answer.However, area can not be negative because it is a place/ location. It's exactly the same as mass.
