The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Pluto is $0.61 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity at the surface of a planet is given by the equation:

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

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

For Pluto, we have:

$M=1.30\cdot 10^{22} kg$ is the mass

$R=1,188 km = 1.188\cdot 10^6 m$ is the radius

Substituting, we find its gravitational acceleration:

$g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.30\cdot 10^{22})}{(1.188\cdot 10^6)^2}=0.61 m/s^2$
