    How Does Altitude Affect Gravitational Force on an Astronaut Orbiting the Moon?

    An astronaut weighs 99.3 N on the surface of the moon. If the same astronaut orbits the moon at an altitude equal to the moons radius, what gravitational force (in N) does the moon exert on him at this altitude? can anybody get me going in the right direction? thanks

    How Does Earth's Gravity Affect a Meteor at 3.61 Times Its Radius?

    When a falling meteor is at a distance above the earth’s surface of 3.61 times the Earth's radius, what is the acceleration of the Earth's gravity in m/s2? (Use the average radius of the Earth in your calculations) can somebody walk me through this one? thanks
