14 hours ago · Taking the square root of both sides, we get r = 2 * Earth's radius. Answer 7. Since the astronaut starts at the Earth's surface, the height above the Earth is r - Earth's radius = 2 * Earth's radius - Earth's radius = Earth's radius. So, the astronaut will experience a force of gravity of 250 N at a height of 1 Earth radius above the Earth's ...
