Newton's Gravitational Forces


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

An object(mass=525kg) is 3.0x103 km above the Earth's surface. This object is falling toward the Earth because of the Earth's gravitational force on it. What is the rate of acceleration when it is at this distance?


2. Relevant equations

Mass of Earth=5.98x1024
Radius of Earth=6.37x106
Fg=Gm1m2/r2

g=Gm/r2


3. The attempt at a solution



Thank you for your help!

How would you go about using the equations you have cited?

I was kind of hoping you'd have some ideas ;)
