The mass and diameter of a planet have twice the value of the corresponding parameters of earth. The acceleration on the surface of planet .........

Answer»

`9.8 m//sec^2`
`4.9 m//sec^2`
`980 m//sec^2`
`19.6 m//sec^2`

SOLUTION :`IMPLIES` ACCELERATION of graving on the surface of earth
`G = (GM_e)/(R_e^2)`
Acceleration of gravity on the surface of PLANET
`g_p=(GM_e)/R_e^2` but `M_p = 2M_e ` here `R_p = 2R_e`
`:. g_p =(G(2M_e))/((2R_e^2))=(2GM_e)/(4R_1^2)=1/2(GM_e)/(R_e^2)`
`:. g_p =g/2 =(9.8)/2 m//s^2`
