Here are the solutions to the questions: 10. A spacecraft of mass 150 kg is launched into an orbit at a height of 800 km above the earth's surface. What is the kinetic energy of the spacecraft in orbit? Step 1: Identify the given values and constants. Mass of spacecraft, m = 150 kg Height above Earth's surface, h = 800 km = 800 × 10^3 m Gravitational constant, G = 6.674 × 10^-11 N m^2 kg^-2 Mass of Earth, $M_E = 5
