Oh, I forgot to post my solution to part b). I think I have done part b) correctly. See below: F = ma F = (30 kg)(7.2 m/s) F = 216 N Paraphrase: Therefore, a 30 kg meteor at the same altitude will experience a force of 216 N.

Homework Statement A 12 kg meteor experiences an acceleration of 7.2 m/s^2 when falling towards the earth. a) How high above the Earth's surface is the meteor? b) What force will a 30 kg meteor experience at the same altitude? Homework Equations Fg= Gm1m2/r2 m1m2 r2 = Gm1m2/Fg r =...
