Height and acceleration due to gravity
\( g_1 = \frac{GM}{(R+h)^2} \) · Space station, Everest, Moon
Explain how g depends on distance from Earth's center
Use \( g_1 = \frac{GM}{(R+h)^2} \)
Calculate g at the space station
Compare g on the Earth and the Moon
G and M never change
Only the distance from the center can change
