Question 15

Multiple Choice

A 4,000 kg satellite is traveling in a circular orbit 200 km200 \mathrm{~km} above the surface of the Earth. A 30.0 gram marble is dropped inside the satellite. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the marble as viewed by the observers inside the satellite? (ME=5.98×1024 kg,RE=6.37×106 m,G=6.67×1011 Nm2/kg2) \left(M_{E}=5.98 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{~kg}, R_{E}=6.37 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~m}, \mathrm{G}=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{kg}^{2}\right)


A) 2.64 m/s22.64 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}
B) 4.90 m/s24.90 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}
C) 0.00 m/s20.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}
D) 1.62 m/s21.62 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}
