Respuesta :
Options:
a) 10 m/s²
b) 8 m/s²
c) 4.4 m/s²
d) More information is needed
Answer:
d) More information is needed
Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity at an altitude h above the surface of a planet is given by the equation:
[tex]g = g_o \frac{h^2}{(h + R)^2}[/tex].................(1)
where the altitude above the surface of the planet X, h = 3000 km
Acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet, g₀ = 10 m/s²
To be able to get the acceleration due to gravity, g, at an altitude h above the surface of the planet, all parameters must be substituted into equation (1).
Unfortunately, the radius, R, of the planet, X, is not given. This means that there are no sufficient parameters(information) to find the acceleration due to gravity at an altitude h above the surface of the planet.
