1.At what height above the earth's surface does theacceleration due to gravity fall to 1% of its value atthe earth's surface?(A) R (B) 5R (C) 10R (D) 9R(show full process)​

Answer»

ANSWER:

At 5.7600×10^7 m above the EARTH surface

Explanation:

1%of g=g×10^-2 \\ Re=6.4×10^6m(Radius \:  of  \: earth) \\ g×10^-2=g÷{1+(h÷Re)^2} \\ Taking \:  root  \: both \:  side  \\ 1+(h÷Re)=10 \\ h÷Re=9 \\ h=Re×9 \\ h=5.7600×10^7m \\

so it is 9R
