The radius of the earth is R. At what distance above the earth's surface, in terms of R , is the acceleration due to gravity = 2.5 m/s2 ? At approximately (answer) × R above the earth’s surface.
What is the value of g at an altitude of 12,000 km above Earth's surface? Consider: rEarth = 6.38 x 106 m MEarth = 5.98 x 1024 kg Give your answer in m/s/s to the correct number of significant figures.
You hopefully used g=9.8 m/s2 (or thereabouts). That is the gravitational acceleration near the earth's surface. if you rise high above the earth, the gravitational acceleration decreases. Specifically, the gravitational acceleration is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the earth's center. Equivalently, if you multiply the acceleration by the distance from the earth's center, you should get the same number for all heights. For this problem, take the radius of the earth as 3,902 miles, and calculate the gravitational acceleration of a satellite in low orbit, 182 miles above the surface.
Newton's law of universal gravitation is represented by Mm F = G- where F is the gravitational force, M and m are masses, and r is a length. Force has the SI units kg · m/s2. What are the SI units of the proportionality constant G? m3 kg - s2 m kg ·s3 m2 kg · s2 m2 kg · 3

According to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force on an object of mass m that has been projected vertically upward from the earth's surface is mgR? F = (x + R)- where x = x(1) is the object's distance above the surface at time t, R is the earth's radius, and g is the acceler- ation due to gravity. Also, by Newton's Second Law, F = ma = m(dv/dt) and so dv m dt mgR? (x + R)? (a) Suppose a rocket is fired vertically upward with an initial velocity vo.

Giovanni is a brave explorer visiting an unexplored planet. his duty is to collect data on the planet, including mass. So on the way in, he has the computer scan the size of the planet. The computer tells him that the radius is 6 x10^5 meters.When he lands he immediately begins taking data. From the door of his space shuttle 100 m above the ground he drops his hammer and it takes 18.6 seconds to hit the ground. When it reaches the ground it is going 10.75 m/s. a. What is the acceleration of gravity on this planet? b.If he knows his hammer is 6 kg, and air resistance is negligible, what must be the force of gravity on the hammer? c.What is the mass of the planet?
