An undiscovered planet, many light-years from Earth, has one moon, which has a nearly circular periodic orbit. If the distance f
rom the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 2.165×105 km and the planet has a radius of 4175 km and a mass of 6.70×1022 kg , how long (in days) does it take the moon to make one revolution around the planet? The gravitational constant is 6.67×10−11N·m2/kg2 .

Answer:
The final acceleration becomes (1/3) of the initial acceleration.
Explanation:
The second law of motion gives the relationship between the net force, mass and the acceleration of an object. It is given by :
m = mass
a = acceleration
According to given condition, if the mass of a sliding block is tripled while a constant net force is applied. We need to find how much does the acceleration decrease.
Let a' is the final acceleration,
m' = 3m
So, the final acceleration becomes (1/3) of the initial acceleration. Hence, this is the required solution.
