Answer:

\frac{a_{r,earth}}{a_{r,mars}} = 2.325

Explanation:

The distance of Earth from the Sun is 149.6\times 10^{9}\,m and of Mars from the Sun is 227.9\times 10^{9}\,m. Let assume that both planets have circular orbits. The centripetal accelaration can be found by using the following expression:

a_{r} = \frac{v^{2}}{R}

Since planet has translation at constant speed, this formula is applied to compute corresponding speeds:

v=\frac{2\pi\cdot r}{\Delta t}

Earth:

v_{earth} = \frac{2\pi\cdot (149.6\times 10^{9}\,m)}{(365\,days)\cdot(\frac{24\,hours}{1\,day} )\cdot(\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} )}

v_{earth}=29806.079\,\frac{m}{s}

Mars:

v_{mars} = \frac{2\pi\cdot (227.9\times 10^{9}\,m)}{(687\,days)\cdot(\frac{24\,hours}{1\,day} )\cdot(\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} )}

v_{mars}=24124.244\,\frac{m}{s}

Now, centripetal accelarations can be found:

Earth:

a_{r,earth} = \frac{(29806.079\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{149.6\times 10^{9}\,m}

a_{r,earth} = 5.939\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Mars:

a_{r,mars} = \frac{(24124.244\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{227.9\times 10^{9}\,m}

a_{r,mars} = 2.554\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The ratio of Earth's centripetal acceleration to Mars's centripetal acceleration is:

\frac{a_{r,earth}}{a_{r,mars}} = \frac{5.939}{2.554}

\frac{a_{r,earth}}{a_{r,mars}} = 2.325

How does the value of gravity vary as you go:
iragen [17]

Answer:

Gravity changes with altitude. as we know The gravitational force is proportional to 1/R2, where R is your distance from the center of the Earth.

eg. The radius of the Earth at the equator is 6400 kilometers.

Let's say you were in a jet at the equator that was 40 kilometers high above the earth's surface.
