How to find a planet’s gravitational field strength using its radius?

Physics

grin007 [14]3 years ago

The gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational field strength is the measure of gravitational force acting on any object placed on the surface of the planet. Generally, the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

So the gravitational field strength will be equal to the gravitational force acting on the object.

The formula for gravitational field strength is

g = \frac{F}{m}

Here g is the gravitational field strength, m is the mass of the object placed on the surface and F is the gravitational force acting on the object.

Since, the mass of any object placed on the surface of earth will be negligible compared to the mass of Earth, so the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

Then the g = F

And F =\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }

Here G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth and m is the mass of the object placed on the surface, while r is the radius of the Earth.

g = F = \frac{6 \times 10^{24} \times 6.67 \times 10^{-11}  \times 1}{(6.6 \times 10^{6}) ^{2} }

g = 0.977 \times 10^1= 9.77\ N

So, the gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

Elements in a period have _____________.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Elements in a period have wide range of chemical properties.

Explanation:

  • Period is the row of chemical elements's arrangement in the periodic table. It is numbered from 1 to 7.
  • In period as we move towards right the atomic number of element constantly increases along with the change in chemical properties.
  • As we move from left towards right in period, the valence electron number regularly increases in every element.
  • This valence electron differs the reactivity of the elements.
