What will be the weight of a body it is raised above the earth equal to its radius?
Since the distance from the Earth's center will be doubled, the force or weight will be reduced by a factor of 4.
How much would you weigh on jupiter compared to earth?
weight on jupiter=((mass of jupiter)*(Radius of earth)2/(mass of earth)*(Radius of jupiter)2)*weight on earth
What is the rausch radius?
The Rausch radius measures the distance from the surface of the earth to the point 14,000 miles above the surface of the earth. Material in space (in orbit) with no other force moving it, and that is less than 14,000 miles above the earth will eventually crash back into the earth. Material that is more than 14,000 miles above the earth will always remain in orbit, and probably move contiuously further away from the earth. The Rausch radius differs based on the mass of each planet. For example, when the moon formed, it formed just beyond the Rausch radius. It has continuously moved further away from the earth at a slow rate. Today, the moon is moving away from the earth at the rate of one-and-one-half inches per year.
The weight of the body on the surface of the is 250N. calculate its weight at distance equal to half of radius of the earth below the surface of earth. (radius of earth6400km)?
This is hard to calculate precisely, due to the fact that Earth's density increases towards the center. However, you make a simplified calculation, by assuming a uniform density. Just calculate the ratio of the volume (and therefore, of mass) of a sphere which has half the radius of the Earth, and calculate the gravitational attraction (once again, you only need a ratio, compared to the complete Earth) on that object.
A satellite of mass 5500 kg orbits the Earth in a circular orbit of radius of 9.3 106 m this is above the Earth's atmosphereThe mass of the Earth is 6.0 1024 kg?
yes

What would be the gravitational force on you if you were at a point in space a distance R the Earth's radius above the Earth's surface?
one-fourth of your weight on earth
The radius of the earth is about 6370 km A 7420 N spacecraft travels away from earth What is the weight of the spacecraft at a height 6370 km above Earth's surface?

How much would you weigh on jupiter compared to earth?
weight on jupiter=((mass of jupiter)*(Radius of earth)2/(mass of earth)*(Radius of jupiter)2)*weight on earth
How big is the earths kilometer above its surface?
The radius of Earth in kilometers is 6400 km.The earth is big in 6400 km in radius above its surface.
The weight of an object varies inversely as the square of the distance from the earth's centre. The radius of the earth is 6400km and an astronaut weighs 90kg. What will he weigh 625km above the earth?
Its kinda easy 6400-90kg=6310 divided by 625= 10.1 The weight of the earth would be around 10.1
How strong is earth's gravity 150000000 meters above sea level?
The strength of the gravitational forces between two masses decreases as the square of the distance between their centers. The average Earth radius is 6,371 km. 150,000 km is 23.54 times the Earth's radius. So the acceleration of gravity, and hence the weight of an object, is (23.54)^-2 = 0.0018 of its value on the Earth's surface.
Does the radius of earth effect weight?
Yes, in a way. If the radius of the Earth decreased but it's mass stayed the same, then the forces "pulling" on you (weight) would increase and you would be heavier. If the radius of the Earth increased and the mass stayed the same, then you would be lighter. You would actually weigh less on the top of Mount Everest than on the beach of Honolulu. BTW: This is not a good idea for a weight loss program.
Where is the value of gravitational potential energy is max?
At an altitude above the ground which is equal to the radius of the earth.
Where in space does the gravitational pull diminish?
The gravitational force between you and the Earth (your "weight") depends on both of the masses . . . the Earth's and yours . . . and on the distance between your centers . . . the Earth's and yours. As soon as you rise from the Earth's surface, your weight begins to decrease, because the distance between you and the Earth's center is increasing. The direct answer to your question is: The gravitational force between you and the Earth begins to diminish at the Earth's surface. The higher off the surface you go, the weaker the gravitational force becomes. In a passenger jet, let's say, cruising at 37,000 ft above the surface, your weight is about 0.46% less than it is when you're on the ground. ========================= [Earth radius/Earth radius plus 37,000 ft]2 = [3,950 miles/3,957 miles]2 = 0.99647
What would your weight be at 6 miles above the earth?
the same
How many times the height of the highest mountain is the radius of earth?
Highest mountain above sea level is Everest. Earth mean radius is 720.852 times it's height. Tallest mountain from it's base is Kea. Earth's mean radius is 637.81 times greater that Kea's height from it's base.
