on the surface,
a = G*M/R^2
at r = 4*R
a' = G*M/(4*R)^2
= (1/16)*G*M/R^2
= a/16
so, it becomes 1/16 times

1. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon? (Moon’s mass is 7.34767309 × 1022 kg, its average radius 1737.5 km. Note that [km] is not SI unit and needs to be converted to meters.) G = 6.674×10−11 N·kg–2·m2.
a. compute the acceleration due to gravity of a moon which is 5/6 the radius of the earth and twice as massive as the earth? b. how high above the moon would you ha e to go to have an acceleration due to gravity equal to earth?
The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon's surface is known to be about one-sixth the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth. Given that the radius of the Moon is roughly one-quarter that of the Earth, find the mass of the Moon in terms of the mass of the Earth.
An object weighs 985 N on Earth's surface. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.62 m/s2. What is the object's weight on the moon? a. 163N b. 158N c.168N d.173N
Exercise 4.19- enhanced At the surface of Jupiter's moon lo, the acceleration due to gravity is 181 m/s A watermelon has a weight of 450 N at the surface of the earth. In this problem, use 9 80 Im/s? for the acceleration due to gravity on earth What is its mass on the earth's surface? kg Request Answer Part B What is its mass on the surface of l07 kg Part C What is its weight on the surface of...
the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about the sixth what it is on the Earth. If an object is thrown vertically upward on the Moon, how many times higher it will go than it would on Earth, assuming the same initial speed?
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet is nine times as large as it is on the surface of Earth. The mass density of the planet is known to be seven times that of Earth. What is the radius of this planet in terms of Earth's radius? RE Rplanet t
On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 1/6 that of on Earth. If an object is dropped from a height of 3.5 m on the moon, determine the time it takes the object to fall to the surface of the moon.
At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2. Part A) If a piece of ice weighs 42.0 N at the surface of the earth, what is its mass on the earth's surface? M = (value) Kg? Part B) What is the mass of this piece of ice on the surface of Io? MIo= (value) Kg? Part C) What is the weight of this piece of ice on the surface of Io? WIo= (value)...
