The value of acceleration due to gravity on a planet ‘A’ is ‘g’ What will be the value of acceleration due to gravity on another planet B whose mass is same as that of the planet ‘A’ but its radius is double the radius of planet ‘A’ ?
Added by Shirlin S.
Step 1
The formula is given by: \[ g = \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( M \) is the mass of the planet, and \( R \) is the radius of the planet. Show more…

what will be the value of acceleration due to gravity of a body on a planet whose mass of the earth is 1/9, radius is half of earth
Madhur L.
Suppose a planet is discovered that has the same amount of mass in a given volume as the Earth, but has radius 1/7 REarth. A.)Is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet more than, less than, or the same as the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth? B.) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on this planet.
Sufiyan A.
A planet has twice the mass and twice the radius of the Earth. What is the free-fall acceleration on the surface of that planet (in terms of Earth's value of g)? a. g b. 2g c. g/2 d. g/4
