An object has a weight of 5.10 Newtons (N) at sea level, where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.

What is the acceleration due to gravity on the object of it is placed in a space ship 1,000 km above sea level, where gravity exerts a force of 3.81 N on the object. F(newtons)=m(kg) x a(m/s2) Please show work.

Answer:

Well, you could get the mass as m=\frac{G_0}{g_0} ad then g_1=\frac{G_1}{m}, where G_0 is the sea level weight, g_0 the sea level accel., g_1 the accel. above while G_1 the weight above

Well, you could get the mass as
m=(G_0)/(g_0) ad then
g_1=(G_1)/(m), where
G_0 is the sea level weight,
g_0 the sea level accel.,
g_1 the accel. above while
G_1 the weight above.
