The sun is bigger, but has less mass than the earth
If iron were used to make coins then it would rust easily,because of its exposure to water, air etc..
Answer:
gexp = 3.65 m/s²
Explanation:
The value of acceleration due to gravity changes with the altitude. The following formula gives the value of acceleration due to gravity at some altitude from the sea level:
gexp = g(1 - 2h/Re)
where,
gexp = expected value of g at altitude = ?
g = acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.8 m/s²
h = altitude = 2000 km = 2 x 10⁶ m
Re = Radius of Earth = 6.37 x 10⁶ m
Therefore,
gexp = (9.8 m/s²)(1 - 2*2 x 10⁶ m/6.37 x 10⁶ m)
<u>gexp = 3.65 m/s²</u>
