Question 7: A satellite circles the earth in a circular orbit of radius of R where R is the distance from the center of the earth. A second identical satellite circles in an orbit that is at twice the distance from the center of the earth (i.e. at a distance 2R) as compared to the first one. The gravitational force on the second satellite as compared to the first satellite is:

B. the same force as that on the first satellite
C. two times the force as that on the first satellite
D. one-quarter times the force as that on the first satellite
E. one-half times the force as that on the first satellite

Question 8: A special kind of star called the white dwarf star which was once an average star like our sun, but is now at the end of its life having exhausted all its "fuel". Typical white dwarf stars give out very little light and are small in size. One such white dwarf in our universe has a mass equal to the mass of our sun (M = 2.0 x 10³⁰ kg), and the radius that of the moon (r = 1.74x106 m). Find the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of this while dwarf.

A. 1.4 x 10⁷ m/s2
B. 2.8 x 10⁶ m/s2
C. 9.80 m/s2
D. 2.4 x 10⁷ m/s2
E. 4.4 x 10⁷ m/s2
