What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet that has half the mass of Earth and half the radius of Earth?
4m/s2
4m/s2.
What is one half of the Earth’s radius?
For the distance from the center, we’re told that it’s half of Earth’s radius, and we’re told that the radius of Earth is 6370 kilometers. When we multiply one-half by 6370 kilometers, we get 3185 kilometers.
What will be the acceleration due to gravity in a planet having half the radius of Earth but twice as massive than Earth?
The force of gravity on Earth is roughly 9.8 m/s^2 but on this other planet, it would be: 9.8(m/s^2)*2*4=78.4m/s^2. Suppose a planet exists whose mass and radius both are half those of the earth.
What planet has half the gravity of Earth?
Jupiter
Jupiter has more mass than Earth so its gravity is two and a half times greater. Pluto is much smaller than Earth and so the force of gravity on Pluto is weaker than it is on Earth. This clip could be used when learning about the constant force of gravity and how it differs from one planet to another.
What is the radius of the earth answer?
6,371 km is the radius of the earth.
What is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth?
A planet is having a mass twice to that of earth’s mass and its radius as 4 times that of the earth’s radius. Determine four times the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of this planet. Acceleration due to gravity at the earth’s surface is 10ms^-2 .
What happens to gravity as you move away from the Earth?
Altitude: When a body moves away from the surface of the earth the force of attraction decreases as the distance between the earth and the body increases. Depth: When a body is put inside the earth’s surface the acceleration due to gravity becomes less.
Is acceleration due to gravity directly proportional to mass?
Mathematically, the acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the distance from the centre of mass, so given as: r is the distance from the centre. But, in case of a free-falling body, the force is equal to the product of the mass of the body and acceleration due to gravity.
What is the force of gravitation at the equator?
While the force of gravitation is minimum at the equator of the earth approximately 9.78 m/s 2 as the radius of the earth is maximum at the equator Altitude: When a body moves away from the surface of the earth the force of attraction decreases as the distance between the earth and the body increases.
