The acceleration due to gravity changes as you go higher in elevation. For example, at sea level g=9.80665 m/s but on the top of Mt. Everest g -9.78877 m/s. 1. Why does gravity change with altitude? (5 points) 2. On graph paper, draw a graph of g vs. altitude using the following heights (km): 0, 200, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000. You will have to look up these values online. (5 points) 3. How does the Earth's gravitational pull compare to the other 7 planets in our solar system? In other words, which planets have a higher g then Earth and which have lower. (5 points) 4. Does gravity change as we go down from the surface towards the center of the planet? If so, how? If not, why not? (5 points) The acceleration due to gravity changes as you go higher in elevation.
