If a planet has the same mass as the earth, but has twice the radius, how does the surface gravity, g, compare to g on the surfa

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.

Explanation:

Surface gravity is given by the following formula:

$g=G\frac{m}{r^{2}}$

So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:

$g_{E}=G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}$

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{r_{P}^{2}}$

The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:

$r_{P}=2r_{E}$

If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{(2r_{E})^{2}}$

Which yields:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}$

So we can now compare the two gravities:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}}{G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}}$

When simplifying the ratio we end up with:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{1}{4}$

So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.

Why is earth the only planet on which water exists in a liquid state

Gennadij [26K]

This is due to earths location in the solar system. Earth is in the habitat zone or the Goldie locks zone, in this zone it's not too hot or not too cold for water to exist. Other planets in different star systems have liquid oceans due to them being in the habitat zone.
