Question

Compute the acceleration of gravity for a given distance from the earth's center, distCenter, assigning the result to accelGravity. The expression for the acceleration of gravity is: (G * M) / (d2), where G is the gravitational constant 6.673 x 10-11, M is the mass of the earth 5.98 x 1024 (in kg) and d is the distance in meters from the earth's center (stored in variable distCenter).

#include
using namespace std;
int main() {
double G = 6.673e-11;
double M = 5.98e24;
double accelGravity;
double distCenter;
cin >> distCenter;
/* Your solution goes here */
cout << accelGravity << endl;
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Replace /* Your solution goes here */ with the following expression

accelGravity = (G * M) / (distCenter *distCenter );

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Complete the code

The equivalent expression of (G * M) / (d^2) is:

(G * M) / (distCenter *distCenter );

The expression must be stored in accelGravity.

So, we have:

accelGravity = (G * M) / (distCenter *distCenter );
