Imagine a small moon with a mass equal to 1.3 times the mass of the Earth's moon. How much work is done y this moon on a 1,331 kg meteor which comes from outer space and impacts the surface of the moon? You should assume that the radius of this moon is equal to the radius of Earth's moon. Where the radius of Earth's moon = 1,738 km.
In a futuristic scenario, you are assigned the mission of making an enemy satellite that is in a circular orbit around Earth inoperative. You know you cannot destroy the satellite, as it is well protected against attack, but you can try to knock it out of its orbit so it will fly away and never return. What is the minimum amount of work W applied to the satellite that is required to accomplish that? The satellite's mass and altitude are 993 kg and 243 km. Earth's mass and radius are 5.98 × 1024 kg and 6370 km.
