Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon. The Moon's radius is about 1.74x10^6m and its mass is 7.35x10^22kg
Heeeeelp ! PLEASE It's urgent

The radius of 1.74x10^6m represents the distance from the center of the moon to its surface, while the mass of 7.35x10^22kg represents the total amount of matter that makes up the moon.
The moon's gravity acceleration is calculated using the formula: g = G * (M/r^2) where g is the acceleration due to gravity, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the moon, and r is the distance from the center of the moon to the object being affected by its gravity.
The gravitational constant (G) is a fundamental constant in physics that is equal to approximately 6.67x10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2. It is used in the calculation of gravitational forces between objects.
The moon's gravity acceleration is approximately 1/6th of Earth's, meaning that objects on the moon will weigh less than they do on Earth due to the weaker gravitational force.
Yes, the moon's gravity acceleration can change over time due to factors such as its changing distance from the Earth and the redistribution of mass within the moon due to geological processes.
