Which of these does Newton's law of universal gravitation imply?
(Points : 1)
The force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to the product of the two masses. <--
Earth's gravity acts on people inside a space station orbiting the earth.
Gravity increases with distance from a planet.
What goes up must come down.
Question 2. 2. What is "universal" about Newton's law of universal gravitation?
(Points : 1)
It predicts the same force of attraction independent of the distance between the objects.
It describes gravitational forces on earth, which is part of the universe. <--
The mathematical expression has the same form in any language.
It applies to any two objects at any location.
Question 3. 3. A 60.0 kg student is standing on the pavement outside. To use Newton's law of universal gravitation to find the weight of the student, you should calculate the weight as the force of attraction between the student and what?

*********************************
r = 6.378*10^6 + .350*10^6 = 6.73*10^6 meters
F = m a = m v^2/r

G M /r = v^2
6.7*10^-11 (6*10^24)/6.73*10^6
v^2 = 5.97 * 10^7 = about 60*10^6
so
v = 7.73 * 10^3 m/s
= 7.73 km/s
