hi. can you solve it with an explanation? thanks
A high-tech drone flies over Miami, FL in a direction 57.3° west of north with a speed of 34.6 km/h. Three hours later, the drone suddenly shifts due north, and its speed slows to 13.6 km/h. How far (in kilometers) from Miami, FL is the drone 4.50 h after it passes over the Miami. Round your answer to 0 decimal places.
Answer by your own words
You hopefully used g=9.8 m/s2 (or thereabouts). That is the gravitational acceleration near the earth's surface. if you rise high above the earth, the gravitational acceleration decreases. Specifically, the gravitational acceleration is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the earth's center. Equivalently, if you multiply the acceleration by the distance from the earth's center, you should get the same number for all heights. For this problem, take the radius of the earth as 3,902 miles, and calculate the gravitational acceleration of a satellite in low orbit, 182 miles above the surface.
