Question

Saturn has a radius of about 9.0 earth radii, and a mass 95 times the Earth’s mass. Estimate the gravitational field on the surface of Saturn compared to that on the Earth. Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

11.49 m/s^2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

11.49 m/s²

Explanation:

gs = gm/r²

gs = g(95 Me) / (9²Re²)

gs = ge × (95/9²)

gs = 1.173 × ge

gs = 1.173 × 9.8

gs = 11.49

The unit is m/s²
