Question

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is 1/6th of that on the surface of the earth and the diameter of the moon is 1/4th of that of the earth. The ratio of the escape velocity of the earth to that form of the moon is​

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).
