By Newton's universal law of gravitation the free-fall acceleration a of a body, such as the satellite shown in the figure, falling a great distance to the surface is not the constant g. Rather, the acceleration a isinversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the Earth, a = k/r², where k is the constant of proportionality. Use the fact that at the surface of the Earth r = R and a = g to determine k. If thepositive direction is upward, use Newton's second law and his universal law of gravitation to find a differential equation for the distance r.K = 6.255.107d²rdt²kR²Xsatellite ofmass msurfaceREarth of mass M
