Question

object a has a mass of 3600 kg object B has a mass of 600 kilograms both objects were placed in different planets so that their weights are equal the gravity acting on object a is X of gravity acting on an object be

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

The weight of an object is given by

`W=mg`

where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet.

We are told that object A and object B have same weight, so we can write

`m_(A)g_(A) =m_(B)g_(B)\\3600*g_(A)=600*g_(B)\\g_(A)=(600)/(3600)g_(B)\\ g_(A)=(1)/(6)g_(B)`

so answer is gravity acting on object A is 1/6 of gravity acting on object B.
