The acceleration of gravity experienced by objects located near to (and far from) from the earth depends upon the mass of the object. The acceleration of gravity experienced by objects located near to (and far from) from the earth depends upon the mass of the Earth. The acceleration of gravity experienced by objects located near to (and far from) the earth is inversely related to the distance between the center of the object and the center of the earth. Increasing the mass of an object will increase the acceleration of gravity experienced by the object. Doubling the distance between an object and the earth's center will decrease the acceleration of gravity by a factor of four. The acceleration of an orbiting satellite is equal to the acceleration of gravity at that particular location. If the mass of the Earth were doubled (without an alteration in its radius), then the acceleration…arrow_forward
