What is the value of g on the surface of saturn? assume msaturn = 5.68×1026 kg and rsaturn = 5.82×107 m?

F = GMm/r^2 but we don't want force we want acceleration. F = ma combining the two ma = GMm/r^2 cancelling m from both sides a = GM/r^2 where G is the universal gravitational constant M is the mass of Saturn and r is the radius of Saturn. g(Saturn) = a = (6.67x10^-11m^3kg^-1s^-2)(5.68x10^26 kg)/(5.82x10^7m)^2 g = 11.18 m/s^2 round to 11.2 m/s^2

Why are north and south poles important to magnets

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

All magnets have north and south poles. Opposite poles are attracted to each other, while the same poles repel each other. When you rub a piece of iron along a magnet, the north-seeking poles of the atoms in the iron line up in the same direction. The force generated by the aligned atoms creates a magnetic field.
