The formula we can use here is:

g = G m / r^2

where g is gravity, G is gravitational constant, m is mass, and r is radius

Since G is constant, therefore we can equate two situations:

g1 m1 / r1^2 = g2 m2 / r2^2

(10 m/s^2) r1^2 / m1 = g2 * (1/2 r1)^2 / (1/8 m1)

<span>g2 = 5 m/s^2</span>

An object completes one and half revolution of a circle of radius R calculate the displacement and distance
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Distance is path length covered by particle. When particle moves along half circle, it covers half the circumference therefore distance covered is (2×pi×r)/2 = pi× r. ... Hence displacement is equal to diameter or 2 times the radius of circle.

needhelpp101 Why is the gravitational potential energy of an object 1 meter above the moon’s surface less than its potential ene
Vlad1618 [11]

If you remember the formula for potential energy,
then this question is a piece-o-cake.

  <em>Potential energy = (mass) x (<u>acceleration of gravity</u>) x (height) .</em>

-- The object's mass is the same everywhere.
-- You said that the height is the same both times.
-- How about the acceleration of gravity ? 

Compared to gravity on Earth, it's only  16.5 percent as much on the Moon. 
So naturally, from the formula, you'd expect the Potential Energy to be less
on the Moon.
