Question

If the mass of a planet is half of the mass of the earth and of the same radius as earth, then compute the value of acceleration due to gravity on that planet​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration of gravity of earth, g=

R

e

2

GM

e

=9.81ms

−2

Acceleration of gravity on planet, g

′

=

R

p

2

GM

p

=

(R

e

/2)

2

G(M

e

/2)

=2g=19.6ms

−2

Hence, acceleration is 19.6ms

−2
