Acceleration due to gravity on moon
The acceleration due to gravity on moon or the value of g on moon is 1.625 m/s2.
Calculate acceleration due to gravity on moon
The acceleration due to gravity formula is given by g=GMR2
Where,
G is the universal gravitational constant, G = 6.674×10-11m3kg-1s-2.
M is the mass of the massive body measured using kg.
R is the radius of the massive body measured using m.
g is the acceleration due to gravity measured using m/s2.
The mass of the moon is 7.35×1022Kg.
The radius of the moon is 1.74×106 m
Substituting the values in the formula we get-
g=6.67×10−11×7.35×1022(1.74×106)2
Thus, the value of g on moon is g=1.625 m/s2.
The acceleration due to gravity also follows the unit of acceleration
Hope you got to know the value of g on moon along with acceleration due to gravity formula, definition, calculation, and SI units.
Answer:
Calculations based;
its mean radius of moon= (1737 km),
mass of moon= (7.3477 x 1022 kg),
density of moon=(3.3464 g/cm3),
the missions conducted by the Apollo astronauts, the surface gravity on the Moon has been measured to be
1.62 m/s2 , or 0.1654 g.
