Jupiter has a mass of 1.90 x 10^27 kg and a radius of 7.15 x 10^7 m. Calculate thethe magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter.

Respuesta :

Given:

The mass of the Jupiter, M=1.90×10²⁷ kg

The radius of the Jupiter, R=7.15×10⁷ m

To find:

The magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter.

Explanation:

The gravitational field strength is given by the formula,

[tex]g=\frac{GM}{R^2}[/tex]

Where G is the gravitational constant.

On substituting the known values,

[tex]\begin{gathered} g=\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.90\times10^{27}}{(7.15\times10^7)^2} \\ =24.8\text{ m/s}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Final answer:

The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 24.8 m/s²
