An astronaut on Mars wants to measure the change in the force of gravity from climbing its highest mountain. What happens? Gravity A. decreases linearly B. decreases exponentially C. increases linearly D. increases exponentially
Gravity reduces by the square of an increase in distance, so the answer is B
The gravitational force equation is
The inquiry concerns the impact of ascending the highest peak on Mars and observing the resulting changes in the local gravity field.
First of all, we can rule out options C and D because they indicate that the force will increase as we move farther away from the center of gravity. Instead, it will decrease.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- A model train with a mass of #4 kg# is moving along a track at #21 (cm)/s#. If the curvature of the track changes from a radius of #84 cm# to #140 cm#, by how much must the centripetal force applied by the tracks change?
- Two objects have masses of #36 MG# and #18 MG#. How much does the gravitational potential energy between the objects change if the distance between them changes from #81 m# to #3 m#?
- A model train with a mass of #3 kg# is moving along a track at #12 (cm)/s#. If the curvature of the track changes from a radius of #5 cm# to #24 cm#, by how much must the centripetal force applied by the tracks change?
- An object with a mass of #6 kg# is revolving around a point at a distance of #8 m#. If the object is making revolutions at a frequency of #3 Hz#, what is the centripetal force acting on the object?
- A model train with a mass of #9 kg# is moving along a track at #18 (cm)/s#. If the curvature of the track changes from a radius of #24 cm# to #42 cm#, by how much must the centripetal force applied by the tracks change?
