Step 1
Step 1: The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet is given by the formula $g = 4/3 \pi G \rho R$, where $\rho$ is the density of the planet and $R$ is the radius of the planet. Show more…

The density of a newly discovered planet is twice that of earth. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet is equal to that at the surface of earth. If the radius of the earth is $\mathrm{R}$, the radius of planet would be (A) $2 \mathrm{R}$ (B) $4 \mathrm{R}$ (C) $1 / 4 \mathrm{R}$ (D) $\mathrm{R} / 2$
The density of a newly discovered planet is twice that of earth. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet is equal to that at the surface of earth. If the radius of the earth is R, the radius of planet would be (A) 2R (B) 4R (C) 1/4 R (D) R/2
Two planets have the same mass, $M .$ Each planet has a constant density, but the density of planet 2 is twice as high as that of planet $1 .$ Identical objects of mass $m$ are placed on the surfaces of the planets. What is the relationship of the gravitational potential energy on planet $1\left(U_{1}\right)$ to that on planet $2\left(U_{2}\right) ?$ a) $U_{1}=U_{2}$ d) $U_{1}=1.26 U_{2}$ b) $U_{1}=\frac{1}{2} U_{2}$ e) $U_{1}=0.794 U_{2}$ c) $U_{1}=2 U_{2}$
