Calculate the gravitational force on a 6.50x10^2 kg thats is 4.15x10^6 above the surface of the earth?

2352 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on an object is given by

(1)

where

is the gravitational constant

m is the mass of the object

is the Earth's mass

r is the distance between the object and the Earth's center

In this problem, we have an object of mass . Its distance from the Earth's center is given by its distance above the surface plus the Earth's radius, R:

Substituting into equation (1), we find
