In object in motion stays in motion; speed
No it won't. It'll vary inversely as the square of the separation.
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.
Complete Question:
A coin is dropped off of a building landing on its side. It hits with a pressure of 400 N/m². It hits with a force of 0.1N. Calculate the area of the coin?
Answer:
Area = 0.00025 m²
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Pressure = 400N/m²
Force = 0.1N
To find the area of the coin;
Pressure = Force/area
Area = Force/pressure
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Area = 0.1/400
Area = 0.00025 m²
