Calculate the value of acceleration due to gravity on moon. Given mass of moon =7.4xx10^(22) kg, radius of moon =1740 km.
A projectile is to be launched from the surface of the earth so as to escape the solar system. Consider the gravitational force on the projectile due to the earth and the sun nly. The projectile is projected perpendicular to the radius vector of the earth relative to the centre of the sun in the direction of motion of the earth. Find the minimum speed of projection relative to the earth so that the projectile escapes out of the solar system. Neglect rotation of the earth. mass if the sum M_(s)2xx10^(30)kg, Mass of the earth M_(e)=6.4xx10^(24)kg Radius if the earth R_(e)=6.4xx10^(6)m, Earth- Sun distence r=1.5xx10^(11)m
