Solve the following question given below:

Question: The gravitational field caused by a planet or other body (such as the moon) can be calculated using: gfield2 G is the universal gravitational constant in Newton's law of gravity. M is the body's mass, and r is the distance from the center of the body to the location where g is calculated. If g is calculated near the surface, r is the radius of the object.

Given: The mass of Venus is 486.8x10²² kg. The radius of Venus is 6.052x10⁶ m.

Question I: What is the gravitational field strength near the surface of Venus?

N/kg

Question II: If an astronaut on the surface of Venus tosses a wrench up in the air, it will have a downward acceleration of m/s2 while it is travelling up and down in freefall.

Show all work, use additional paper if necessary.
