Question

Explain what is meant by the equation :
g=G×M/R²
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Note:The equation, g=G×MR2 implies that the acceleration due to gravity is proportional to the mass of the planet but also it implies that the acceleration due to gravity is proportional to the density of the planets.

Answer 2

Answer:

This is the acceleration produced by the earth. It is also called acceleration due to gravity.

$g=G× \frac{M}{R²}$

where

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of the earth

R = radius of the earth.
