Question

calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon. The Moon's radius is 1.74×106m1.74×106m and its mass is 7.35×1022kg7.35×1022kg. gMoongMoon = nothing m/s 2 m/s2

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is given as

$g = 1.62 m/s^2$

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration due to gravity is given as

$g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

now we have

$M = 7.35 \times 10^{22} kg$

$R = 1.74 \times 10^6 m$

now we have

$g = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(7.35 \times 10^{22}}{(1.74 \times 10^6)^2}$

$g = 1.62 m/s^2$
