Answer:
Mass will be same as [tex]2\times 10^4kg[/tex]
Explanation:
We have given mass of the spacecraft [tex]m=2\times 10^4kg[/tex] kg on te earth
We have to find the the mass of the spacecraft at a distance one earth radius from the surface of earth
As we know that mass is always conserved it does nit depend on the gravity when spacecraft goes above the earth only acceleration due to gravity is change and it has no effect on mass
So mass will remain same
So mass will be [tex]2\times 10^4kg[/tex]
