The mass of a certain neutron star is 1 脳 1031 kg (5 solar masses) and its radius is 4000 m. What is the acceleration of gravity at the surface of this condensed, burned-out star? The value of the universal gravitational constant is 6.67 脳 10鈭?1 N 路 m2/kg2. Answer in units of m/s2.What is the acceleration of gravity at the surface of this condensed, burned-out star?g of test mass on surface = F/m
F between masses F = G mM/R^2
the m cancels giving g in terms of G,M,and R^2
