Question

On the surface of Earth, a spacecraft has a mass of 2.00 x 104 kilograms. What is the mass of the spacecraft at a distance of one Earth radius above Earth's surface?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass will be same as $2\times 10^4kg$

Explanation:

We have given mass of the spacecraft $m=2\times 10^4kg$ kg on te earth

We have to find the the mass of the spacecraft at a distance one earth radius from the surface of earth

As we know that mass is always conserved it does nit depend on the gravity when spacecraft goes above the earth only acceleration due to gravity is change and it has no effect on mass

So mass will remain same

So mass will be $2\times 10^4kg$
