Atomic mass is the mass of an atom, particle, or molecule. The atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the atom. For example, Oxygen has 8 protons (as seen by the atomic number) and 8 neutrons which gives oxygen an atomic mass of 16.

When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the Earth's surface of 3.40 times the Earth's radius, what is its acceleration d

Alchen [17]

Answer:

g = 0.85 m $s^{-2}$

Explanation:

g = $\frac{GM}{h^{2} }$

were; g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, G is Newton's gravitation constant (6.674 x $10^{-11}$ N $m^{2}$ $kg^{-2}$ ), M is the mass of the earth (5.972 x $10^{24}$ kg), and h is the distance of meteoroid to the earth.
