1. Calculate the gravitational field constants for the following:
Mars (r=3.43 x 10^6m , m= 6.37 x 10^23 kg)
Jupiter (r= 7.18 x 10^7 , m = 1.90 x 10^27kg)
Mercury (r=2.57 x 10^6m , m= 3.28 x 10^23 kg)
2. F = mg
Fg = Gm1m2
r^2
3. So i tried subbing these given masses into the second equation but it does not give me the correct answer.
Am i not using the correct equation?
I only just learned this in school on Friday and it was quite confusing as to what i should be using to find my answers.
The answer key says:
Mars: 3.61 m/s^2
jupiter: 24.6m/s^2
mercury: 3.31m/s^2
