Determine the force of gravitational attraction between the earth (m = 5.98 x 1024 kg) and a 70-kg physics student if the student is in an airplane at 40000 feet above earth's surface. This would place the student a distance of 6.39 x 106 m from earth's center.

N

Explanation:

From the Question we are told that

Earth mass

Students mass

Distance of student from earth center Radius

Generally the equation for Force of attraction b/w the earth and the boy is mathematically given by

Therefore the force of attraction b/w the student and the earth is

a

explanation:

because they are cartillidge

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2
