Answer:

6.37*10^6 m

Explanation:

We know that,

g = GM/R²

values given to us

acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Mass of the earth is= 6.4*10^24

G = 6.67*10^{-11}

implementing

9.8 = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24/R^2

9.8 = 40.02 * 10^13/ R^2

R^2 = 4002/98 * 10^12

R^2 = 40.83* 10^12

R= 6.37*10^6 m   (approximately)

What type of motion does the galaxy go through
Mariana [72]

Well, it depends. Your latitude on Earth--that is, how close you are to the equator--and the time of year make a difference. I'll explain why. Your motion is made up of four pieces: the rotation of the Earth on its axis, the motion of the Earth around the Sun, the Sun's orbit about the center of the galaxy, and the motion of the whole galaxy.
