Two planets of radii R1 and R2 are made from the same material. The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity g1/g2 at the surfaces of the planets is
- \(\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}\)
- \(\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}}\)
- \(\left(\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}\right)^{2}\)
- \(\left(\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}}\right)^{2}\)
Answer
(A) R_ 1 R_ 2
