How Does Earth's Gravity Affect a Meteor at 3.61 Times Its Radius?

[cleanandsimpl]

When a falling meteor is at a distance above the earth’s surface of 3.61 times the Earth's radius, what is the acceleration of the Earth's gravity in m/s2? (Use the average radius of the Earth in your calculations)


can somebody walk me through this one? thanks
