acceleration due to gravity at height given
g'/g = ( R / ( R+h)) ^2
g'/g = ( R/ 2R)^2
g' = g/ 4
weight at that height
W' = m g' = mg /4
option (d) is correct

Major Tom orbits the planet Earth aboard a geosynchronous space station. In a geosynchronous orbit, the station stays above the same spot on the surface of the planet and orbits in time with Earth’s rotation. A) What is the space station’s orbital speed? Assume the radius is perfectly circular. B) What is the only possible radius for such an orbit? (You may calculate the radius from the center of the Earth) C) Major Tom’s weight on the surface of Earth...

The space station orbits Earth about 400 km above the surface of Earth (NASA.gov). At this height the force of gravity from Earth is only about 10% less than on the surface of Earth. Using the concepts of circular motion and gravitational forces explain the following: 1. Why does the space station not fall down? 2. Why do the astronauts float inside the space station?

The international space station (ISS) orbits the Earth with an approximately circular orbit 420 km above Earth's surface (6790 km above the center of the Earth). Suppose one evening the ISS passes in front of the full moon - which subtends an angle of 30 arc minutes (0.5 degrees)- in such a way that it exactly bisects the moon. How long will it take to cross in front of the Moon from one end to the other, as viewed by...

The space shuttle typically travels in a circular orbit at an altitude of 500 km above the Earth's surface. The Earth itself has a radius of about 6400 km. The shuttle can travel in a circular orbit, at constant speed, without any need for the rocket engine to be on, if it travels at just the right speed (a) Given that the value of g is 8.50 m/s2 at an altitude of 500 km, determine the value of the shuttle's...
