Question 8
Gravitational FieldWhat is the acceleration due to gravity 'g' on the moon, if g is 10 m s−2 on the earth?
- A.0.10 m s−2
- B.0.74 m s−2
- C.1.67 m s−2
- D.10.00 m s−2
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C (1.67 m s−2)
Explanation
Gravity on the moon is about one-sixth of that on earth: 10/6 ≈ 1.67 m s−2.
