The strength of the gravitational field is given by:
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:
And now we can use the previous equation to calculate the field strength at that altitude:
And we can see this value is a bit less than the gravitational strength at the surface, which is
.

Answer:
V=15.3 m/s
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we have to use the energy conservation theorem:
the elastic potencial energy is given by:
The work is defined as:
this work is negative because is opposite to the movement.
The gravitational potencial energy at 2.5 m aboves is given by:
the gravitational potential energy at the ground and the kinetic energy at the begining are 0.
Answer:
a) v = 21.34 m/s
b) v = 21.34 m/s
c) v = 21.34 m/s
Explanation:
Mass of the snowball, m = 0.560 kg
Height of the cliff, h = 14.2 m
Initial velocity of the ball, u = 13.3 m/s
θ = 26°
The speed of the slow ball as it reaches the ground, v = ?
The initial Kinetic energy of the snow ball,
Potential energy of the snow ball at the given height, PE = mgh
Final Kinetic energy of the ball as it reaches the ground,
a) Using the principle of energy conservation,
b) The speed remains v = 21.34 m/s since it is not a function of the angle of launch
c)The principle of energy conservation used cancels out the mass of the object, therefore the speed is not dependent on mass
v = 21. 34 m/s
