Which satellite experiences the larger gravitational force if two satellites have the same mass but one is twice as far away from the planet as the other?

It would be the one farthest away because gravity tries pulling it harder and harder into an orbit so it goes much faster than the one inside.

Why is the medial condyle larger than the lateral condyle?
The medial condyle is the larger than the lateral condyle is larger because it bears more weight. This additional burden requires a larger and stronger base.
What is gas and dust accumulating into larger bodies?
gas and dust accumulating into larger bodies
Why do the Lymph nodes become larger and tender?
They become larger and tender when you have a disease or infection
Why are poly saccharides more difficult to digest than mono saccarides?
Polysaccharides are much larger molecules.
Is the chloroplast in onion cells larger than the nuclei?
Chloroplasts are larger than nuclei. A typical Chloroplast measure 4 to 6 um, and a typical nucleus measure about 3 um.
What is meant by a satellite project?
A Satellite Object is any object that travels around another, usually larger object. The Moon is our Earth's satellite. We and Mars and the other plantes are the satellites of the Sun. Many Man made satellites that are used for a variety of communication and other such purposes orbit our Earth right now as artificial satellites.
Why does Neptune have satellites even thought it is not orbited by any that are man-made?
The definition of a "satellite" is anything that orbits a larger body. Moons are satellites (natural satellites), and Neptune has 13 known moons.
What do you call a smaller celestial body that orbits a planet?
Objects orbiting a planet called satellites. They can be natural satellite like Earth's Moon or artificial satellites such as the International Space Station or different communication satellites made by and set on orbit by men.
In science what does the word satellite means?
A satellite is any mass that orbits a larger mass. A satellite may be a planet, moon, asteroid, or comet. The word 'satellite' is also used to refer to any man-made object launched to orbit Earth or another planetary body. Artificial satellites may be spacecraft or orbiting telescopes.
Why do engineers keep the masses of satellites as small as possible?
The cost of the launch of a satellite is directly tied to its mass. The heavier the satellite the more fuel and oxidizer and the larger the engine must be.
Why are moons called satellites?
In astronomical terms, a satellite is any body that orbits another body. Planets are satellites of stars, and there are smaller "satellite galaxies" that border or orbit larger galaxies such as the Milky Way.The word moons refers to satellites of planets, dwarf planets, or asteroids. They are often called "natural satellites" to differentiate them from "artificial satellites" which are manmade devices in orbit around planets or moons.
What are the satellites of the planets?
This is a very vague question. First what planets are you referring to? Second, define "satellites" - Earth's moon is a satellite, but so is every single rock orbiting Saturn. We also send man-made satellites to orbit other planets. Restate your question. And lurn2google.
What is a description of the most important satellite of Neptune?
Triton
What is a natural satellite that orbits a planet?
Satellites are natural or artificial bodies that revolve around larger bodies like planets. Except for Mercury and Venus, all of the planets have natural satellites call MOONS.
What is the meaningof satellite?
A satellite is anything that revolves around a larger mass or object. The Earth is a satellite of the Sun, while the moon is a satellite of the Earth. We have also launched a lot of machines into an orbit around the earth, which are also called satellites. They are used to study stars and the weather, for communication and to photograph our planet.
Why can the moon be described as a satellite?
Well,satellite means any object orbiting a larger object,so any body will do including the moon. Any object which orbits a planet is a satellite. The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. All the other objects which orbit the Earth are artificial satellites.
How many satellites are circling the earth at any given time?
That depends on how you define satellite, One definition of the word satellite is a body that orbits a larger body. If you take this as the definition of satellite then the answer to our question is millions out there in space.Another definition of satellite is a manufactured vehicle intended to orbit the Earth. This definition makes our count much less because it includes only spacecraft and not debris that orbits the Earth. The Goddard Space Flight Center's lists 2,271 satellites currently in orbit. Russia has the most satellites currently in orbit, with 1,324 satellites, followed by the U.S. with 658.
