The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between them.  So reducing the distance
by 1/2 means increasing the gravitational force by 2² = 4 times. 
The 1 million newtons becomes 4 million newtons.

Note that this does NOT mean the satellite's altitude above the surface.
When you're calculating gravitational forces, it's the distance between
the centers of the objects.  So the question is a meaningful exercise
only if we use the distance between the satellite and the planet's center.

A student environmental group is creating a campaign for locally sourced energy resources.What would be best for them to feature
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

<em>A farmer with a field of solar panels.</em>

Explanation:

The closest to a locally sources energy would have been

A coal mine located in their county.

But coal as an energy source is not environmentally friendly due to carbon emission, and should not be what the group should advocate for.

<em>The best bet for them is </em>

<em>A farmer with a field of solar panels.</em>

As solar panels are a source of green energy and green energy is what the environmental group should often and always advocate for

  <span>I'll tell you how to do it but you must crunch the numbers. 

Use Kepler's 3rd Law 

T^2 = k R^3 

where k = 4(pi)^2/ GM 
G =gravitational constant = 6.67300 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 
M = mass of this new planet 
pi = 3.14159265 
T =3.09 days = 266976 seconds 
R = (579,000,000km)/9 = 64333333.3 km 

a) 
Solve Kepler's 3rd Law for M. Your answer will be in kg 


b) 
mass of the sun = 1.98892 × 10^30 kilograms 
Form the ratio 
M(planet)/M(sun) </span>
