Question

At what altitude above earth's surface would the gravitational acceleration be 9.0 m/s2

Answer 1

It would never be this value.
Acceleration due to gravity is a constant.
if F=ma

Then

a = F / m

which cancels down to give a fixed value of 9.8m/s^2

So regardless of mass, all free falling objects accelerate at the same rate.
