Question

The mass and radius of Earth are____ME and____RE, respectively. The mass and radius of the Moon are approximately 186ME and 27RE, respectively. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth is___g . The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is most nearly_____.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Mass of the Earth is 5.97219 × 10^24 kg

2. Radius of the Earth is 6,371 km

3. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is 9.81 m/s^2

4. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is 1.625 m/s^2

Explanation:

The mass and radius of Earth are 5.97219 × 10^24 kg ME and 6,371 km RE, respectively. The mass and radius of the Moon are approximately 186ME and 27RE, respectively. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth is 9.81 m/s^2 . The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is most nearly 1.625 m/s^2
