Answer :
Answer:
Option E
Explanation:
As we know
[tex]m = \frac{-2RU}{GM} \\[/tex]
Where R is the radius of the orbit
G is the gravitational Constant =[tex]6.67*10^{-11}[/tex]
U is the total energy and
M is the mass of Earth [tex]= 5.98*10^{24}[/tex]
radius of earth [tex]= 6.378*10^6[/tex]
Radius of the orbit = radius of the earth [tex]+ 650[/tex] km
Radius of the orbit (R) = [tex](6.378*10^6)+(6.5*10^5)[/tex]
Substituting the given values, we get -
[tex]m = \frac{ (2((6.378*10^6)+(6.5*10^5))(-4.4*10^{11}))}{((6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24}))}\\ = 15505.6[/tex]
Option E is the nearest answer
