Question

calculate the acceleration due to gravity at a height of 300km from the surface of the earth ​

Answer 1

◆ Answer -

Gravitational acceleration at 300 km = 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.
