The planet Krypton has a mass of 9*10^ 23 kg and radius of 1.2 * 10 ^ 6 * m What is the acceleration of an object in free fall near the surface of Krypton? The gravita tional constant is 6.6726*10^ -11 N* m^ 2 /kg^ 2 Answer in units of m/s^ 2
1 answer
GM/r^2 = 6.6726*10^-11 * 9*10^23 / (1.2*10^6)^2 = 41.7 m/s^2
