An object has a weight of 5.10 Newtons (N) at sea level, where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.
What is the acceleration due to gravity on the object of it is placed in a space ship 1,000 km above sea level, where gravity exerts a force of 3.81 N on the object. F(newtons)=m(kg) x a(m/s2) Please show work.
Answer (3)
Well, you could get the mass as m = g 0 G 0 ad then g 1 = m G 1 , where G 0 is the sea level weight, g 0 the sea level accel., g 1 the accel. above while G 1 the weight above.
Well, you could get the mass as m=\frac{G_0}{g_0} ad then g_1=\frac{G_1}{m}, where G_0 is the sea level weight, g_0 the sea level accel., g_1 the accel. above while G_1 the weight above ;
The mass of the object was calculated to be approximately 0.5205 kg using its weight at sea level. The acceleration due to gravity 1,000 km above sea level, where the object weighs 3.81 N, is approximately 7.32 m/s². Thus, the gravitational force acting on the object in the spaceship is weaker than at sea level.
