Determine the value of ‘g’ with altitude? |
|
Answer» Answer: Hello your answer is... The gravitational acceleration decreases with altitude, as shown by the solid line in FIGURE 1 (left). g is EQUAL to 9.5 m/s2 at 100 km altitude, which is 9% larger than 8.7 m/s2. HOWEVER, at 500 km altitude, g is close to 8.45 m/s2, which is close to 3% smaller than 8.7 m/s2. Explanation: |
