AP Physics Gravity Near the Earth's Surface
NY - 9.803 m/s2 Denver - 9.796 m/s2 North Pole - 9.832 m/s2
Ex) Mars has a mass 1/10 that of Earth and a diameter 1/2 that of Earth. The acceleration of a falling body near the surface of Mars is most nearly
Substitute changes into equation Answer 4 m/s2

Ex) Prove that the orbital velocity of satellite does not depend on the mass
From we equation we see that orbital V and Period T is only determined by orbital radius The
