Question 5

Multiple Choice

The mass of the Moon is 7.4×1022 kg7.4 \times 10 ^ { 22 } \mathrm {~kg}
its radius is 1.74×103 km1.74 \times 10 ^ { 3 } \mathrm {~km}
and it has no atmosphere. What is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Moon? (G=6.67×1011 Nm2/kg2) \left( G = 6.67 \times 10 ^ { - 11 } \mathrm {~N} \cdot \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } / \mathrm { kg } ^ { 2 } \right)
