You have a hole bored to the very center of the earth, (ignore the part about the core being molten iron and is very hot and the problems not being crushed by the enormous pressure), describe how acceleration of gravity g changes as start at the bottom of the hole at the very center of the earth, and move upwards to a point several earth diameters away. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity a At the center b Halfway to the surface c At the surface. d At 1 earth radii above the surface of the earth e At 3 earth radii above the surface of the earth Hint, be sure you are straight on the difference between altitude (distance above the Earth and radius, (the distance from the center of the Earth)
