Question

Q4 Calculate the value of "g" on the surface of moon and then compare it with "g' on Earth. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

less than that on the surface of the earth

Explanation:

Because the moon has less mass than Earth, the force due to gravity at the lunar surface is only about 1/6 of that on Earth.

Hence, the value of g on the surface of moon is less than that on the surface of the earth.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

the moon has less mass than Earth, the force due to gravity at the lunar surface is only about 1/6 of that on Earth. Hence, the value of g on the surface of moon is less than that on the surface of the earth.

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is approximately 1.625 m/s2, about 16.6% that on Earth's surface or 0.166 ɡ.
