On planet Q, g = 2.24 m/s2. If the mass of planet Q is 8.96
1021 kg, what is the radius of planet Q?(G = 6.67 * 10-11 N
(m/kg))
a
8.95 x 1032 m
b 5.17 x 10 m
C 1.26 108 m
d 9.23 x 1024 m
e
4.72 x 106 m

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.17 x 10^5

Explanation

The correct answer is (b) [tex]5.17*10^{5}m[/tex]

Let us consider an object of mass m on the planet Q.

On planet Q, let the acceleration due to gravity be g = 2.24 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

Mass of the planet is M = [tex]8.96*10^{21} kg[/tex]

Let its radius be R

and the universal gravitational constant G = [tex]6.67*10^{-11} m/kg[/tex]

Gravitational Force acting on the object:

[tex]mg=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]R=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{g} } \\R=\sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*8.96*10^{21} }{2.24} }\\R=5.17*10^{5} m[/tex] is the radius of the planet Q.
