On the surface of Earth, a spacecraft has a mass

of 2.00 × 104 kilograms. What is the mass of the

spacecraft at a distance of one Earth radius

above Earth’s surface?

(1) 5.00 × 10^3 kg (3) 4.90 × 10^4 kg

(2) 2.00 × 10^4 kg (4) 1.96 × 10^5 kg

Mass is a property of the object, and doesn't change.

If the spacecraft has  2 x 10⁴ kg of mass, then its mass is 2 x 10⁴ kg.

Anywhere.

The correct answer to the question is \(2)\ 2.00\times 10^4\ Kg\)

EXPLANATION:


Hence, mass of the spacecraft at this height is \(2.00\times 10^4\ Kg\)
