The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on a point 10,000 kilometers above sea level is about 1.49 meters/second2. How much will an object, which weighs 98 newtons on the surface of Earth, weigh on this point? The value of acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 meters/second2

Verified Answer :

W=98*1.49/9.8 N
soo 14.9 Newtons

Weight = mass gravity
98 = m (9.81)
mass= 9.99 <-- mass of object that is on surface of earth

you want to find the weight of that same object at a different point. I found the mass so that I could apply it to the formula to find its weight at the point that they are asking for.

Weight  = mass gravity
W = 9.99 * 9.81
W = 98.00

hope this helps :)
