Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

3. The gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface (ga) is about 10 m/s? and ge = GM/R2. What
is g, at the surface of a planet with 2X Earth's mass and 3X Earth's radius?
