Question

Calculate the value of the acceleration due gravity on the surface of the moon.(given : mass of the moon =7.4 x 1022 kg, radius of the moon = 1.74 x106 m, G = 6.67 × 10- 11 N m2 kg-2

Answer 1

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity,g=G*M/R square

Putting the values of G, M, R in above equation, we get

g=6.67*10 power -11nm square/Kg square* 7.4*10 power 22 kg

upon

1.74*10 power 6m bracket square

g=1.63m/s square

the value of acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.63m/s square
