Question

In recent years, astronomers have found planets orbiting nearby stars that are quite different from planets in our solar system. Kepler-12b, has a diameter that is 1.7 times that of Jupiter (RJupiter = 6.99 x 107 m), but a mass that is only 0.43 that of Jupiter (MJupiter = 1.90 x 1027 kg). Part A What is the value of g on this large, but low-density, world? Express your answer with the appropriate units. НА ? g= Value Units Submit Request Answer Provide Feedback

Answer 1

3.86 m/s^2  is the value of gravity  on this large, but low-density, world.

given :

Kepler-12b

diameter= 1.7 times of Jupiter (R_Jupiter = 6.99 × 10^7 m),

mass = 0.43  Jupiter (M_Jupiter = 1.90 × 10^27 kg ).

g = GM/r^2

g = 6.67×10^-11 × 0.43×1.9×10^27/( 1.7×6.99×10^7)^2

g = 3.859 ~ 3.86 m/s^2

Gravity, also referred to as gravitation, is the unchanging force of attraction that binds all matter together in mechanics. It is by far the weakest known force in nature, so it has no effect on determining the internal properties of common matter.

On Earth, everything has weight, or a gravitational pull that is imposed by the planet's mass and proportional to the object's mass. A measure of the force of gravity is the acceleration that freely falling objects experience. At the surface of the Earth, gravity accelerates at a rate of about 9.8 meters per second. As a result, an object's speed increases during free fall by about 9.8 meters per second. At the Moon's surface, a freely falling body accelerates to about 1.6 m/s2.
