Answer:If an object at a distance of 6.4 x 10⁶ m from the center of the Earth weighs 10N, its weight when shifted to a distance of 1.2 x 10⁷ m from the center of the Earth can be calculated using the inverse square law of gravity. The weight will decrease because the distance from the center of the Earth increases.
Explanation:The weight of an object decreases as it moves farther away from the center of the Earth. This is due to the inverse square law of gravity. So, when the object is shifted to a distance of 1.2 x 10⁷ m from the center of the Earth, its weight will be less than 10N.
