Question
Six artificial satellites circle a space station at constant speed. The mass m of each satellite, distance L from the space station, and the speed v of each satellite are listed below. The satellites fire rockets that provide the force needed to maintain a circular orbit around the space station. The gravitational force is negligible.
Rank each satellite based on the net force acting on it, rank from largest to smallest ie:
3rd> 5th> 6th
For maxiumum points, thank you.

1st = 200*160^2/5000 = 1024
2nd = 200*160^2/2500 = 1024
3rd = 300*80^2/10000 = 192
4th = 400*80^2/2500 = 1024
5th = 200*120^2/5000 = 576
6th = 800*40^2/10000 = 128
1st = 2nd = 4th > 5th > 3rd > 6th
