KillGorack / Physics 2010 / An object of mass 0.50 kg is transported to the surface of Planet X where the object's weight is measured to be 20 N. The radius of the planet is 4.0*10^6m. What free fall acceleration will the 0.50-kg object experience when transported to a distance of 2.0*10^6m from the surface of this planet?

The following physics responses are provided by a student and, as such, should be considered in that context. While every effort is made for accuracy, absolute correctness cannot be fully guaranteed.
