Question:

Many satellites orbit the earth about 1000 km above the earth’s surface. Geosynchronous satellites orbit at a distance of 4.22 x 10⁷ m from the center of the earth. How much more energy is required to launch a 500-kg satellite into a geosynchronous orbit than into an orbit 1000 km above the surface of the earth?
