Question

A person weighs 857 N on the surface of Earth and 5320 N on the surface of another planet. What is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet?

A. 44.4 m/s^2
B. 69.9 m/s^2
C. 52.9 m/s^2
D. 60.8 m/s^2

Answer 1

Option D is correct.

60.8 m/
`s^(2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

g on planet = (g on earth x weight on planet ) / (weight on earth)

put the values in the formula take g as 9.8 m/
`s^(2)`;

g on planet = (9.8*5320) / (857)

=60.8 m/
`s^(2)`
