Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the height at which the acceleration due to gravity decreases by 36% of its value on the surface of the Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between gravity at height and surface gravity The acceleration due to gravity at a height \( h \) above the Earth's surface is given by the formula: \[ g_h = \frac{g \cdot R}{(R + h)^2} \] where: ...
