Answer:

\frac{2}{5}

Explanation:

Thinking process:

The weight of an object if defined as the gravitational pool on the object. This is the force that pulls an object downward. This is given as follows:

W = mg

where w = weight (gravitational pull)

           m = mass of the object (kg)

           g  = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is about 3.924 m/s². This is \frac{2}{5} of the acceleration on the earth.

Therefore, the weight of the object on Mars will weigh 2/5 of what it weighs on earth.

Determine the gravitational field 300km above the surface of the earth. How does this compare to the field on the earth's surfac
Serjik [45]
The strength of the gravitational field is given by:
g= \frac{GM}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance measured from the centre of the planet.

In our problem, we are located at 300 km above the surface. Since the Earth radius is R=6370 km, the distance from the Earth's center is:
r=R+h=6370 km+300 km=6670 km= 6.67 \cdot 10^{6} m

And now we can use the previous equation to calculate the field strength at that altitude:
g= \frac{GM}{r^2}= \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(6.67 \cdot 10^6 m)^2}  = 8.95 m/s^2

And we can see this value is a bit less than the gravitational strength at the surface, which is g_s = 9.81 m/s^2.
