You are currently in a stable orbit 9000 km
(1km=1000m) from the center of planet Proxima
Centauri B.
According to the calculations done by NASA, Planet Proxima Centauri B has
a mass of approximately 7.6x10^24kg.
Based on fuel consumption and expected material aboard the ship, your
colony ship lander has a mass of approximately 1.1x10^5 kg.
1. Using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, determine what the force of
gravity on your ship at that orbit be using the early measurements
2.Using Newton's second law determine the acceleration of your lander due
to gravity
3.Upon arrival, you measure the actual force of gravity to be 6x10^5 N,which
