An Earth satellite is orbiting at a distance from the Earth’s surface equal to one Earth radius (4 000 miles). At this location,

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.

(D) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 4000 miles

We need to calculate the gravitational force at surface

Gravitational force on the mass m on the surface of the earth

At r = R

$F=mg$

$mg=\dfrac{GmM}{R^2}$ ....(I)

We need to calculate the gravitational force at height

Gravitational force on a mass m from the center of the earth,

At r = R + R = 2 R

$F'=mg'$

$mg'=\dfrac{GmM}{4R^2}$ ....(II)

Dividing equation (II) by equation (I)

$\dfrac{mg'}{mg}=\dfrac{\dfrac{GmM}{4R^2}}{\dfrac{GmM}{R^2}}$

$\dfrac{g'}{g}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Hence, The acceleration due to gravity is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.
