Answer 2

Explanation:

ANSWER

As we know that the acceleration in earth is calculated by the formula

r/2Gm

which equals 9.8m/s^2

where m is the mass of the earth and r is the radius of the earth.

now,

mass of that planet is half of earth so it's mass is 2/1

(m) and it's radius is half of earth so, it's radius is 2/1 (r)

we will use the same formula to find the gravitational acceleration of that planet which equals
