(a) what is the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the moon? the mass of the moon is 7.35 x 1022 kg and its radius is 1.74 x 106 m. (b) what is the acceleration of gravity on the surface (or outer limit) of mercury? the mass of mercury is 3.30 x 1023 kg and its radius is 2.44 x 106 m

Part a)

a = 1.62 m/s/s

Part b)

a = 3.70 m/s/s

Explanation:

Part A)

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is given as

here we know that

now we have

Part B)

Acceleration due to gravity on surface of Mercury is given as

here we know that

now we have

33: i think it’s b

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2
