Infer: Four satellites in the same orbit (at the same distance from the Earth) are orbiting Earth along the paths shown below. Satellite's (1) mass is 2500 kg, satellite's (2) mass is 4500kg, satellite's (3) mass is 3500kg, satellite's (4) mass is 3750kg. Infer which satellite experiences the weakest gravitational force towards Earth? Explain your reasoning.

According to newton's second law, when the same force is applied to two objects of different masses, a the object with greater mass will experience a great acceleration, and the object with less mass will experience an even greater acceleration, b. the object with greater mass will experience a smaller acceleration, and the object with less mass will experience a greater acceleration, c. the object with greater mass will experience a greater acceleration, and the object with less mass will experience a smaller acceleration, d. the object with greater mass will experience a small acceleration, and the object with less mass will experience an even smaller acceleration.

The amount of potential energy possessed by an elevated object is equal to what?

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?
