Acceleration due to gravity at height H above earth surface is half of the value of Acceleration due to gravity at the surface. What is the value of H in terms of R where R is radius of Earth?
In the first equation above, g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity.
Its value is 9.8 m/s2 on Earth.
That is to say, the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the earth at sea level is 9.8 m/s2.
