please prove this sample problem's answer using GRESA method Determine the force of gravitational attraction between the earth (m = 5.98 x 1024 kg) and a 70-kg physics student if the student is standing at sea level, a distance of 6.38 x 106 m from earth's center. The solution of the problem involves substituting known values of G (6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2), m1 (5.98 x 1024 kg), m2 (70 kg) and d (6.38 x 106 m) into the universal gravitation equation and solving for Fgrav. The solution is as follows:

A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are useful for communication and weather observation because the satellite remains above the same point on Earth (provided it orbits in the equatorial plane in the same direction as Earth's rotation). Calculate the radius (in km) of such an orbit based on the data for the moon in this table. km Enter a number. Additional Materials Reading 2
The gravitational field is another name for the acceleration due to gravity, depending on position, abbreviated as a. The gravitational field near the Earth's surface has the special value g = 9.8 m/s2. You can assume that the radius of the Earth is REarth = 6,400 km. Calculate the gravitational field from this formula, at a height of 585 km above the surface of the Earth. Enter the result in m/s2. Round to one digit after the decimal point (i.e., the same number of digits as in g = 9.8 m/s2). Hint: You can use either kilometers or meters for the values of REarth and R in this formula, as long as you use the same units for both. These units cancel out.
