Task 1: Gravitational Fields 1. A person with a mass of 60 kg is inside a rocket that is moving straight up, away from the earth's surface. The radius of the earth is 6.38 x 105 m and the mass of the earth is 5.98 x 1024 kg. a. Find the force of gravity acting on the person at an altitude of 300 000 m. b. Find the altitude that will cause the person's weight to drop to one-quarter of its value on the earth's surface. 2. Mass 1 is four times as large as mass 2. Both masses are at rest and are separated by 200 m. Where could you place a third mass, mass 3, if the net force on 3 must be zero?
