Ceres is a large asteroid that orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres has a mass of 9.4 x 1020 kg and a radius of about 4.7 x 10° m. If a spacecraft attempts to land on the asteroid, what acceleration due to gravity will it experience near the surface?

The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of Ceres is approximately 0.284 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of Ceres = 9.4 × 10²⁰ kg

The radius of Ceres, r = 4.7 × 10⁶ m

By Newton's law of gravitation, we have;

Therefore;

Where;

m₁ = The mass of Ceres = 9.4 × 10²⁰ kg

m₂ = The mass of the spacecraft

G = 6.6743 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

Substituting the values, we get;

The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of Ceres ≈ 0.284 m/s²

that would be because of both gravity and friction. so     c

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.
