The mass of a planet is that of the earth and its diameter is half that of the earth. The acceleration due to gravity on that planet is:
To solve this problem, we need to find the acceleration due to gravity on a planet with given mass and diameter relative to Earth.Given:⢠Mass of the planet (where is the mass of Earth)⢠Diameter of the planet (where is the diameter of Earth)The acceleration due to gravity on a planet is given by:Where:⢠is the gravitational constant.⢠is the mass of the planet.⢠is the radius of the planet.Since the diameter is half, the radius of the planet (where is the radius of Earth)Substitute the given values into the formula for gravity:Simplify the expression:Where is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (approximately m/s).Calculate m/sTherefore, the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is m/s. This corresponds to Option 2.
