Question

write the expression of acceleration due to gravity of a body of mass m on a planet of mass M. In which direction does it act?
(plz give your own answer)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, it is important to note that for positive masses, gravity is always attractive, that is, it pulls the objects together.

So m will move towards M.

acceleration due to gravity (g) = GM/$r^{2}$   [General formula]
