A satellite mass $500\ kg$ is elevated from altitude $10000\ km$ to altitude $20000\ km$. Radius of earth is $6378\ km$. Mass of earth is $5.97 \cdot 10^{24}\ kg$. Gravity is given to be $9.81\ m/s $
My attempt is using final $mgh$ - initial $mgh$.
initial $mgh = 500 \cdot 9.8 \cdot (16378 \cdot 1000)$
final $mgh = 500 \cdot 9.8 \cdot (26378 \cdot 1000)$
Final - initial I get $4.9 \cdot 10^{10}$
The correct answer is $4.61 \cdot 10^9$
Were did I go wrong?
