Dear Yahoo Answers,
The question I have been given is;
Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, has a diameter of 3.14 × 103 km and a mean density of 3.0 × 103
kg/m3. How far would an apple fall in one second if dropped from the top of a cliff on the
surface of Europa?
So far I have got this far:
Use the diameter to calculate the volume, and then use this to calculate the mass.
Then the mass and the radius (diam/2)(at surface acceleration) to calculate acceleration.
a=GM/r^2
Is this process right? And if someone could help me put in the data as well, it would be greatly appreciated
