Question

Acceleration due to gravity on the Moon? Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon. The Moon's radius is 1.74x10^6m and its mass is 7.35x10^22kg. Please show all steps.

Answer 1

We know, g = GM/R² = 6.67408 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 * 7.35*10^22 kg / (1.74*10^6)

calculate by yourself, It would be: 1.622 m/s^2
