Find the force of gravitational attraction between the earth (m = 6 x 1024 kg) and 80 kg man if he is standing at sea level. The distance of man from earth's center is 6.38 x 106 m.

From universal law of gravitation , Force F of attraction between earth and man is given as
 
begin mathsize 14px style F space equals space G cross times fraction numerator M space m over denominator R squared end fraction end style
where G = 6.674 × 10-11  N m2 kg-2 is universal gravitational constant , M = 6 × 1024 kg is mass of earth
 
and m = 80 kg is mass of man and R = 6.38 × 106 m .
 
F = [ 6.674 × 10-11 × 6 × 1024  × 80 ] / ( 6.38 × 106 )2  = 787 N
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
If we consider g =  [  ( G M ) / R2 ] is the acceleration due to gravity , then gravitational force is calculated as
 
F = m × g = ( 80 × 9.8 ) N = 784 N

A boy throws a steel ball straight up. Consider the motion of the ball only after it has left the boy's hand but before it touches the ground and assume that forces exerted by the air are negligible. For these conditions, the force(s) acting on the ball is (are): a. A downward force of gravity along with a steadily decreasing upward force b. A steadily decreasing upward force from the moment it leaves the boy's hand until it reaches its highest point on the way down there is a steadily increasing downward force of gravity as the object gets closer to the earth c. Constant downward force of gravity along with an upward force that steadily decreases until the ball reaches it highest point on the way down there is only a constant downward force of gravity d. Constant downward force of gravity only
