Answer:

26 lbf

Explanation:

The mass of the satellite is the same regardless of where it is.

The weight however, depends on the acceleration of gravity.

The universal gravitation equation:

g = G * M / d^2

Where

G: universal gravitation constant (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s))

M: mass of the body causing the gravitational field (mass of Earth = 6*10^24 kg)

d: distance to that body

15000 miles = 24140 km

The distance is to the center of Earth.

Earth radius = 6371 km

Then:

d = 24140 + 6371 = 30511 km

g = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24 / 30511000^2 = 0.43 m/s^2

Then we calculate the weight:

w = m * a

w = 270 * 0.43 = 116 N

116 N is 26 lbf

What does the plasma membrane do
aniked [119]

<u>Answer:</u>

The plasma membrane encloses specific structures.

<u>Explanation: </u>

plasma membrane is also called as cell membrane. Plasma membrane only  allows the particle to get in and pass out of the cell by osmosis and diffusion method from the outside environment. It is responsible for the molecular traffic inside the cell.

It helps in maintaining the shape of the cell. It has many proteins in it. Therefore cell membrane are responsible for having specific structures.
