Question

In recent years, astronomers have found planets orbiting nearby stars that are quite different from planets in our solar system. Kepler-12b, has a diameter that is 1.7 times that of Jupiter (RJupiter = 6.99 × 107 m), but a mass that is only 0.43 that of Jupiter (MJupiter = 1.90 × 1027 kg ). Part A
What is the value of g on this large, but low-density, world? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

Solution :-

apply accleration due to grviyt g = GM/R^2

so g = 6.67e-11* 0.43 *1.9e27/(1.7*6.99e7)^2

g = 3.859 m/s^2
