Question

A certain building is 206 metres tall. What is the acceleration due to gravity at the top of the building? 

g(h) = ___ m / sec2 (Do not round. Round to four decimal places as needed)

Find the horizonatal asyptome of g(h)

Solve g(h) 

The solution set is ___ and the height is ___

Expert Solution
Step 1

Lets assume a ball of mass m is at a height of h from the surface of earth. 

Distance between centers = R+h

Gravitational Force of earth on ball = GMmr2 = GMmR+h2

m.a = GMmR+h2

a= GMR+h2
