Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the gravitational field strength at a distance r from a mass M? (2022)
  • Step 1: Identify the mass (M) that is creating the gravitational field.
  • Step 2: Determine the distance (r) from the mass where you want to find the gravitational field strength.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for gravitational field strength, which is g = GM/r^2.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values of G (the gravitational constant), M (the mass), and r (the distance) into the formula.
  • Step 5: Calculate the value of g to find the gravitational field strength at that distance.
