The mass of a planet is 1 10 th that of the earth and its diameter is half that of the earth. The acceleration due to gravity on that planet is:
Options
- A9.8 ~m ~s ⁻²
- B4.9 ~m ~s ⁻²
- C3.92 ~m ~s ⁻²
- D19.6 ~m ~s ⁻²
Correct answer
C. 3.92 ~m ~s ⁻²
Step-by-step solution
aligned g^ = G M^ R^2 & = G M 10 ( R 2 )^2 & = 4 10 G M R^2 =0.4 9.8 & =3.92 ~m ~s ⁻² aligned
