An object is lifted from the surface of a spherical planet to an altitude equal to the radius of the planet. As a result, what happens to the mass and wieght of the object?

Answer 1

Lets' see, same masses, distance is doubled from the center of Earth,

F=G Mm/distance^2, so wouldn't that make force go down to 1/4?

Mass stays the same, but weight is now 1/4
