The gravitational force between a satellite and Earth’s moon is 324 cap n The mass of the moon is 7 point 3 times 10 to the 22th power kilograms If the distance from the moon to the satellite is 2 point 6 times 10 to the 6th power m , what is the mass of the satellite?

Use Newton’s law of gravitation, F = GmM/r², and solve for the satellite’s mass: m = Fr²/(GM). Substituting the values gives m = 324(2.6 × 10⁶)² / [(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹)(7.3 × 10²²)] ≈ 450 kg. Therefore, the satellite’s mass is 450 kilograms.
