Question on Gravity Keplers Laws?
An object is dropped from a height of 1.27E+7m above the surface of the earth. What is its initial acceleration?
I thought I could use the equation for objects near the surface of the Earth in free fall which is :
g (or a) = GM / R^2
But this doesn't give me the right answer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
