8.19 A satellite orbits the earth at a height of 400 km above the surface. How much energy must be expended to rocket the satellite out of the earth's gravitational influence? Mass of the satellite = 200 kg; mass of the earth = 6.0*1024 kg; radius of the earth = 6.4 * 106 m; G = 6.67 * 10–11 N m2 kg–2.

Mass of the Earth, M = 6.0 * 1024 kg
Mass of the satellite, m = 200 kg
Radius of the Earth, = 6.4 *106 m
Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 * 10–11 N m2 kg–2
Height of the satellite, h = 400 km = 0.4 m
Total energy of the satellite at height h = + ( )
Orbital velocity of the satellite, v =
