A certain planet has a radius of 4990 km. If, on the surface of that planet, a 95.0 kg object has a weight of 591 N, then what is the mass of the planet?


Answer :

Machmillerggo

Answer:

3743.489 kg

Explanation:

F_g = 591 N

G = 6.674x10^-11 constant of gravity

m_1 = 95 kg

m_2 = unknown

r = 4990*1000 =

F_g = G[(m_1*m_2)/r^2]

591 N = 6.674x10^-11[(95*m_2)/4990^2]

8.855 = [(95*m_2)/4990^2]

355631.472 = 95*m_2

m_2 = 3743.489 kg
