7. Considering Newton's model of gravity, which of the following statements concerning the "constants" G and g is true? a) Neither g nor G depend on location. (They are both "universal" constants.) b) Both g and G depend on location. (They are "constants" but location-dependent constants.) c) The value of G is believed to be the same anywhere in the universe. d) The value of g and G turn out to be equal (to each other) at the surface of a planet.

Let's say an apple weighs exactly 1N on the surface of the Earth (which corresponds to a distance of 6400 km from the center of the Earth). Now imagine an astronaut brings the apple on a spaceship. What is the force of the Earth's gravity on this apple at a vertical distance of 6400 km above the surface of the Earth? Hint: the radial distance of the apple from the center has doubled. What does this do to the force of gravity according to Newton's law of universal gravitation?
