Answer:
3.64×10⁸ m
3.34×10⁻³ m/s²
Explanation:
Let's define some variables:
M₁ = mass of the Earth
r₁ = r = distance from the Earth's center
M₂ = mass of the moon
r₂ = d − r = distance from the moon's center
d = distance between the Earth and the moon
When the gravitational fields become equal:
GM₁m / r₁² = GM₂m / r₂²
M₁ / r₁² = M₂ / r₂²
M₁ / r² = M₂ / (d − r)²
M₁ / r² = M₂ / (d² − 2dr + r²)
M₁ (d² − 2dr + r²) = M₂ r²
M₁d² − 2dM₁ r + M₁ r² = M₂ r²
M₁d² − 2dM₁ r + (M₁ − M₂) r² = 0
d² − 2d r + (1 − M₂/M₁) r² = 0
Solving with quadratic formula:
r = [ 2d ± √(4d² − 4 (1 − M₂/M₁) d²) ] / 2 (1 − M₂/M₁)
r = [ 2d ± 2d√(1 − (1 − M₂/M₁)) ] / 2 (1 − M₂/M₁)
r = [ 2d ± 2d√(1 − 1 + M₂/M₁) ] / 2 (1 − M₂/M₁)
r = [ 2d ± 2d√(M₂/M₁) ] / 2 (1 − M₂/M₁)
When we plug in the values, we get:
r = 3.64×10⁸ m
If the moon wasn't there, the acceleration due to Earth's gravity would be:
g = GM / r²
g = (6.672×10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (5.98×10²⁴ kg) / (3.64×10⁸ m)²
g = 3.34×10⁻³ m/s²
Three times larger I think.
Answer:
Explanation:
M = Mass of Earth
G = Gravitational constant
R = Radius of Earth
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is
On new planet
Dividing the two equations we get
The acceleration due to gravity on the other planet is

The correct answer is 10 billion years. The Sun is expected to undergo hydrogen fusion for a total of 10 billion years. The Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen and produces helium nucleus. It fuses 620 million metric tons every second.
