The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on a point 10,000 kilometers above sea level is about 1.49 meters/second2. How much will an object, which weighs 98 newtons on the surface of Earth, weigh on this point? The value of acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 meters/second2.

Sagot :

An object, which weighs 98 N on the surface of Earth, weigh on this point is 2.23 x 10²⁴ kg.

What is gravity?

The force of attraction felt by a person at the center of a planet or Earth is called as the gravity.

Given, the Earth has the acceleration due to gravity, g =  9.81 m/s².

Force of gravity W = mass x acceleration due to gravity

98N = m x 9.8m/s²

m = 10 kg

The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on a point 10,000 km above sea level is about 1.49 m/s².

The acceleration due to gravity and mass is related as

g = GM/R²

where G = gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg² and R is the distance between two masses.

Substituting the values, we get

1.49 m/s² =  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg² x M/ (10000 x 10³ m)²

M = 2.23 x 10²⁴ kg

Therefore, an object will weigh on this point is 2.23 x 10²⁴ kg
