Calculate the gravitational field strength on the highest peak of Everest (8848 m above the Earth).
field strength at tip
F = - G M / R^2 = - 6.67* 10^-11* 5.98* 10^24 / ( 6.38* 10^6 + 8848)^2
F = - 9.772 N/kg

Comment before rate in case any doubt, will reply for sure.. goodluck

As a rocket gets farther from Earth, the strength of the gravitational force between the rocket and Earth increases. True or False?
1a) What is the gravitational field strength on the planet Jupiter? Given it's mass is 1.90 x 1027 kg and it's equatorial radius is 7.15x107 m. 1b) What is the gravitational field strength on the planet Mercury? Given it's mass is 3.30 x 1023 kg and it's equatorial radius is 2.44x106 m.
Calculate the energy flux for a gravitational wave of strength h= 10-21 if the frequency is 1000 Hz. If the wave from the previous problem is incident on the Earth what is the energy flux incident on the Earth? If they come from 20Mpc away at what rate was the source losing energy to gravitational waves when they were emitted? How far away would the Sun need to be to produce the flux in electromagnetic radiation?
1. What is the work done by the solar gravitational field when the Earth moves along its orbit? 2. What is the work done by the solar gravitational field when the Earth moves from aphelion to perihelion? 3. What is the work done by the solar gravitational field when the Earth moves from perihelion to aphelion?
Let's suppose for simplicity that the gravitational field strength is g = 10 m/s^2. A projectile is shot horizontally from a height of 30 meters, quite a way up. with initial speed v_0 = 10 m/s. It strikes the side of a tower after traveling a horizontal distance of 20 meters. Show your work. (a) at what height y above the ground does the projectile strike the tower? b) what are the vertical and horizontal components v_x, v_y of its...
Task 2 (Gravitational Potential of the Earth) In good approximation, the earth can be regarded as a sphere of homogenous mass density with radius R and total mass M. The gravitational potential of a mass m which has a distance r to the center of the earth is given by GMm , r>R U(r) 2R where Eo and G are constants a) Calculate the force F(r) which acts on a mass m at the earth's surface Hint: The gradient of...
1) Strength of the electric force The earth and the moon exert attractive gravitational forces on one another according to Newton's law of gravitation. However, since the earth and the moon are electrically neutral (that is, the net charge of each planet is zero), they do not exert electrical forces on one another. Assume now that someone (aliens) removes some number N of electrons from both the earth and the moon, so that the two bodies now exhibit electrical repulsion...
