How many kilometers would you have to go above the surface of the earth for your weight to decrease to 36 % of what it was at the surface?
Homework Answers
use,
gh = g*(1-(2*h)/R)
given,
gh = 0.36*g
so,
0.36*g = g*{1-(2*h)/R}
0.36 = 1-(2*h)/R
(2*h)/R = 1-0.36
(2*h)/R = 0.64
2*h = 0.64*R
h = 0.32*R
radius of earth = 6378.1 km
so,
h = 0.32*6378.1 km
= 2040.99 km
= 2041 km
Answer: 2041 km

How far above the surface of the Earth will a person’s weight be reduced to one-quarter its value at the surface? g=Gme/r2 where me is the mass of the Earth, r is the distance from the Earth’s center to the height above Earth and G is the proportionality constant. You will need to look up the mass and radius of the Earth.

A satellite is at an altitude of 852 kilometers above the Earth's surface. The mass of Earth is 5.972 x 10^24 kg and the radius of Earth is 6.378 * 10^6 m. (1) What is the acceleration due to gravity in the orbit? (2) What is the orbital velocity and period of the orbit? (3) Derive the equation for the escape velocity of the orbit and provide the numerical value.

1. For the earth, an estimate of the variation of pressure with altitude above the surface of the earth is made for a gas of molecular weight, M, assuming the atmosphere is isothermal, the variation of g with altitude is negligible, and that the atmosphere behaves like an ideal gas. A significant error in this estimate arises from the assumption that the temperature of the atmosphere, T, is isothermal instead of decreasing with altitude. This decrease with altitude y in...

If you weigh 660 N on the earth, what would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 16.0 km ? Take the mass of the sun to be ms = 1.99×1030 kg , the gravitational constant to be G = 6.67×10−11 N⋅m2/kg2 , and the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface to be g = 9.810 m/s2 . Express your weight wstar in...
