to gravity on the surface of the planet to find the required factor
as shown below

Submit Answer Tries 0/2 An earth-like planet has a mass of 6.00x1024 kg and a radius of 4000 km. A...
On a distant planet whose radius is a factor of 2 times less the radius of Earth and has a mass which is a factor of 7 less than Earth, a mass of 9 kg starts on the top of an frictionless incline which has a length of 6 meters at an angle of 25 degrees and the mass is pressed into a spring. When it is let go, after a short time it is moving at 24 m/s when...
A planet has a mass of M1, a radius of R1, and a density of Q1 A second planet has a mass of M2, a radius of R2, and a density of g2. This problem will explore the relationships between the surface gravities (g1 and g2) of the planets depending on the relative sizes of their masses, radii, and densities. Assume that planet 2 has X times the mass of planet 1, or M2 - XM1. The densities of both...
A hypothetical planet has 3 times the mass of Earth and twice the radius of the Earth. What is the surface gravity on this planet? r = Rplanet g = GMplanet / r2
