Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A satellite is orbiting Earth at a height where gravitational acceleration is 8.7 m/sΒ². Calculate the height of the satellite above Earth's surface. Use g(h) = g(1 - (h/R_E)).

πŸ’‘ Hint: Rearrange the equation to solve for height h.

Question 2

Explain why the gravitational force on an object at the center of the Earth is zero, considering Earth’s layers and gravitational principles.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use shell theorem to analyze mass distribution.
