Physics

mearth=5.9742×10^24kg
rearth=6.3781×10^6 m
mmoon=7.36×10^22kg
rmoon=1.7374×10^6m
death to moon=3.844×10^8m center to center
G=6.67428×10^-11

1700 kg satellite is orbiting the Earth in a circularorbit with an altitude of 1700 km
1) how much energy does it take to get it to this altitude
2)how much kinetic energy does it have once it has reached thisaltitude
3)what is the ratio of this change in potential energy to change inkinetic energy
4)what would this ratio be if the final altitude of the satellitewas 4700 km
5)what would be this ratio if the final altitude was 3185 km?
