Answer: Because the force of gravity depends on the size of the planet, so a smaller planet will have less gravitational force than a larger planet. So our gravitational force is not as strong as a bigger planet so we can still stand up and jump normally but on a smaller planet we could jump higher and on a bigger planet, we could not even be able to jump at all.

as you go above earths surface, the acceleration due to gravity will decrease. find the height, i meters, above the earths surfa
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

1.23×10⁸ m

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is:

a = GM / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant,

M is the mass of the planet,

and r is the distance from the center of the planet to the object.

When the object is on the surface of the Earth, a = g and r = R.

g = GM / R²

When the object is at height i above the surface, a = 1/410 g and r = i + R.

1/410 g = GM / (i + R)²

Divide the first equation by the second:

g / (1/410 g) = (GM / R²) / (GM / (i + R)²)

410 = (i + R)² / R²

410 R² = (i + R)²

410 R² = i² + 2iR + R²

0 = i² + 2iR − 409R²

Solve with quadratic formula:

i = [ -2R ± √((2R)² − 4(1)(-409R²)) ] / 2(1)

i = [ -2R ± √(1640R²) ] / 2

i = (-2R ± 2R√410) / 2

i = -R ± R√410

i = (-1 ± √410) R

Since i > 0:

i = (-1 + √410) R

R = 6.37×10⁶ m:

i ≈ 1.23×10⁸ m

How long will it take to fall 50 m?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

down below

Explanation:

Since we aren't the given the time, lets say that an object to 25 seconds to fall 50 meters. We can use the formula [ s = d/t ] to solve.

s = 50/25

s = 2

Therefore, the object was falling at a rate of 2 meters per second.

Best of Luck!
