The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Pluto is [tex]0.61 m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
The acceleration of gravity at the surface of a planet is given by the equation:
[tex]g=\frac{GM}{R^2}[/tex]
where
[tex]G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}[/tex] is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the planet
R is the radius of the planet
For Pluto, we have:
[tex]M=1.30\cdot 10^{22} kg[/tex] is the mass
[tex]R=1,188 km = 1.188\cdot 10^6 m[/tex] is the radius
Substituting, we find its gravitational acceleration:
[tex]g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.30\cdot 10^{22})}{(1.188\cdot 10^6)^2}=0.61 m/s^2[/tex]
