Sagot :

We are given:

Mass of Neptune = 1.03 * 10²⁶ kg

Distance from the center of Neptune (r) = 2.27 * 10⁷

now, computing the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g)

Finding g:

We know the formula:

g = G(mass of planet) / (r)²

g = [6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 1.03*10²⁶] / (2.27*10⁷)                      [since G is 6.67*10⁻¹¹]

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵) / (5.15 * 10¹⁴)

which can be rewritten as:

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵ * 10⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87/5.15) * 10

g = 1.34 * 10

g = 13.4 m/s² (approx)
