Answer:

Gravity changes with altitude. The gravitational force is proportional to 1/R2, where R is your distance from the center of the Earth. Here is an example: The radius of the Earth at the equator is 6400 kilometers. Let's say you were in a jet at the equator that was 40 kilometers high above the earth's surface.

Answer:

The value of 'g' decrease as we go up from the sea level.

Explanation:

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY:

Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration received through an object because of gravitational force. Its SI unit is m/s^2. It has each value and direction, hence, it’s a vector quantity. Acceleration because of gravity is represented through g. The standard value of g at the floor of the earth at sea stage is 9. 8 m/s2.

The value of acceleration because of gravity changes with altitude. The gravitational force above the Earth's surface is proportional to

1/R^2, in which R is the distance from the middle of the Earth.
