Answer:\frac{g}{4}

Explanation:

Let m be the mass of Astronaut

M=mass of earth

G=Gravitational constant

R=radius of Earth

Force Exerted by Earth on Astronaut

F=\frac{GmM}{R^2}

acceleration due to gravity is =\frac{F}{m}=g

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

When it is at r=2R

g'=\frac{GM}{(2R)^2}

g'=\frac{GM}{4R^2}=\frac{g}{4}
