The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on a point

10,000 kilometers above sea level is about
1.49 meters/second2. How much will an object, which weighs
98 newtons on the surface of Earth, weigh on this point? The value of acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 meters/second2.

14.9 Newtons

W=98*1.49/9.8 N

forgot to say that I just answered that question :)

To determine the weight of an object on a point 10,000 kilometers above sea level, we can use the formula:

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Given that the weight of the object on the surface of the Earth is 98 newtons, and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 meters/second^2, we need to find the mass of the object to calculate the weight on the specified point.

To find the mass, we can use the formula:

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Rearranging the formula:

mass = Weight / acceleration due to gravity

Substituting the known values:

mass = 98 newtons / 9.8 meters/second^2
mass = 10 kilograms

Now that we know the mass of the object is 10 kilograms, we can calculate the weight on the point 10,000 kilometers above sea level.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Weight = 10 kilograms x 1.49 meters/second^2
Weight = 14.9 newtons

Therefore, the object would weigh approximately 14.9 newtons on a point 10,000 kilometers above sea level.
