The new gravitation force at the new location is 40 N
Explanation:
The weight of the astronaut is given by the equation
(1)
where
m is the mass of the astronaut
g is the acceleration of gravity
The acceleration of gravity at a certain distance from the centre of the Earth is given by
where G is the gravitational constant and M is the Earth's mass. So we can rewrite eq.(1) as
When the astronaut is on the Earth's surface, (where R is the Earth's radius), so his weight is
Later, he moves to another location where his distance from the Earth's surface is 3 times the previous distance, so the new distance from the Earth's centre is
Therefore, the new weight is
Which means that his weight has decreased by a factor 16: therefore, the new weight is

Yes.
-- 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.
It means ANY change in the speed OR direction of motion ...
speeding up, slowing down, or turning.
-- If an object is NOT moving in straight line at constant speed,
then its motion is accelerated.
-- In circular motion, or even just going around a curve,
the object is accelerating, because its direction is constantly
changing, even if its speed is constant.
The answer to your question is Protons!
∆y is change in y (velocity) and ∆x is change in x (time)
So from the graph we see that ∆y is zero and ∆x is also zero (value is changing with same ratio)
∆y/∆x= slope = 0
