Question

The Moon has a mass of 7.35 * 1022 kg, and a radius of 1.737 * 106 m. Based on

these values, what is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon?

Answer 1

1.63
`ms^(-2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation
`g = (G*M)/(R^2)` would be used where:

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = universal gravitational constant (6.67408 ×
`10^(-11)`
`m^(3) kg^(-1) s^(-2)`)

M = mass

R = radius.

assuming the values following both 10s of the mass and radius are their exponents, which is a little confusing, the values given would simply be substituted.

Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.
