Question

if the mass of the moon is one by hundreds of the mass of the earth and the radius of a moon is One by fourth the radius of the earth then find the ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on the earth and the acceleration due to gravity on the moon​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is about 1.625 m/s2, about 16.6% that on Earth's surface or 0.166 ɡ. Over the entire surface, the variation in gravitational acceleration is about 0.0253 m/s2 (1.6% of the acceleration due to gravity).
