Question

Calculate accon due to gravity at a height
300 km from Sunface of earth.
(M=5.98 x 1024 Kg) (R=6400 km)​

Answer 1

Answer:

9.36 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity at height h is given by -

g' = gR²/(R+h)²

Substitute values,

g' = 9.8 × 6.4×10^6 / (6.4×10^6 + 0.3×10^6)

g' = 9.36 m/s²

Therefore, acceleration due to gravity at a height of 300km from the surface of the surface of the earth is 9.36 m/s².
