Determine the force of gravitational attraction between the earth(m=5.98 x10^24kg)and 70-kg physics student is standing at sea level, a distance of 6.38 x 10^6 m from earths center?

radiation

explanation:

heat is transmitted by radiation

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
