Find how much energy was transformed into internal energy

Reference no: EM13683411

A 600 kilogram satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 450 kilometer above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually falls to the Earth's surface, where it hits the ground with a speed of 2.40 km/s. Find how much energy was transformed into internal energy by means of air friction?
