I have a few questions that I need help with please.
Show by algebraic reasoning that your gravitational acceleration toward an object of mass M a distance d away is a = GM/d2 and therefore doesn’t depend on your mass. (I don't understand this question)
What does it mean to say that angular momentum is conserved? Give an example you might see on Earth. How could conservation of angular momentum help astronomers understand the development of the solar system? (Could you please check the part of the question I answered and help me with the part that I didn't answer)
When angular motion is conserved it means that with no external torque, the product of rotational inertia and rotational velocity at one time will be the same as at any other time. An example your might see on Earth is the moon getting farther away.

force=GMm/d^2
but for you, mass m, your acceleration by falling in gravity must be
Force=ma or
a=F/m= GM/d^2
