Suppose you could do an experiment to measure the acceleration of Earth's gravity not on its surface, but twice as far from its center. The Earth's radius is about 6400 km, so let's do this 12,800 km from its center. What will you measure for the acceleration of gravity there?
Homework Answers
acceleration a = Gm/r²
a is in m/s²
m is mass of earth
G = 6.67*10^-11 m^3kg/s^2
earth mass m= 5.974*10^24 kg
earth radius 6400 km
AT r = 12800 km
=> a = Gm/r²
a = (6.67*10^-11)*(5.974*10^24)/(12800*10^3)^2
a = 2.43 m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity, g, is constant at sea level on the Earth's surface. However, the acceleration decreases as an object moves away from the Earth's surface due to the increase in distance from the center of the Earth. Derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at a distance h above the surface of the Earth, 9h. Express the equation in terms of the radius R of the Earth, g, and h. 9A Suppose a 74.35 kg...

(1 point) The acceleration due to gravity, g, is given by 8= GM r2 where M is the mass of the Earth, r is the distance from the center of the Earth, and G is the uniform gravitational constant. (a) Suppose that we increase from our distance from the center of the Earth by a distance Ar = x. Use a linear approximation to find an approximation to the resulting change in g, as a fraction of the original acceleration:...

A student developed an experiment to measure the acceleration of the gravity. In the experiment, two photogates were used to measure the time it takes the object to fall from rest (at the first photogate) and reach the lower gate. The distance between the two photogates was 50 cm and the recorded time was 319 ms (millisecond). Calculate the acceleration of gravity (magnitude).

Acceleration due to gravity on board of your spaceship that orbits Jupiter is 25.89 m/s. How high is your spaceship above Jupiter's cloud tops? Express your answer in kilometers and round it to the nearest integer. M Jupiter = 1.90 x 104 kg; R Jupiter = 69,911 km. Your cosmic journey brought you into the vicinity of a neutron star. In fact, you are orbiting this neutron star at an orbital distance of 22.424 kilometers. The neutron star has mass...

A student developed an experiment to measure the acceleration of the gravity. In the experiment, two photogates were used to measure the time it takes the object to fall from rest (at the first photogate) and reach the lower gate. The distance between the two photogates was 48 cm and the recorded time was 316 ms (millisecond). Calculate the magnitude of the velocity at the lower photogate.
