Gravity obeys the inverse square law. At 6400 km above the center of the Earth (Earth's surface) you weigh x. Twice that reduces your weight to 1/4th. Four times that height reduces your weight to 1/16th. 4 times 6400 km is 25,600 km. But that is above the center of the earth, and the question requests the height above the surface, so we deduct 6400 km to arrive at our final answer: 19,200 km.
Incidentally, it doesn't exactly work the opposite way. At the center of the Earth the mass would be equally distributed around you, and you would therefore be weightless.
Number of miles that marker shows when passes through town= 160 miles.
Number of miles that marker shows currently to John = 115 miles.
We need to find the distance between town and John's current location.
For the problem, we can clearly see that Town is at 160 miles away but when John passes the marker shows 115 miles.
So, it's just the difference between 160 miles and 115 miles.
In order to find that difference, we need to subtract those two numbers.
160miles - 115miles = 45 miles.
So, we could say the distance between town and John's current location is 45 miles.

Force = mass × accelaration
Force = 0.25Kg × 196 m/s²
Force = 49 Newtons
Answer:
0 Newtons
Explanation:
The velocity of the object does not change, it is a constant 54 km/hr. When velocity does not change, acceleration is zero. Using the formula Force = mass x acceleration, we find:
mass = 1200 kg
acceleration = 0
F = (1200)(0) = 0
