The acceleration due to gravity, is given by g= (b) is this change positive or negative? Agis ? (Think about what this tells you about the acceleration due to gravity.) GM where M is the mass of the Earth, is the distance from the center of the Earth, and G is the uniform gravitational constant. (a) Suppose that we increase from our distance from the center of the Earth by a distance Ar=. Use a linear approximation to find an approximation to the resulting change in g, as a fraction of the original acceleration: Aggx (Your answer will be a function of and r.)
