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

Answer:

1.63 $ms^{-2}$

Explanation:

The equation $g = \frac{G*M}{R^2}$ 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.
