Question

What is the mass of an object that experiences a gravitational force of 510 N near Earth's surface?

52.0 kg

53.0 kg

54.1 kg

51.0 kg

Answer 1

Answer:The mass of an object is 52 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational force on the object ,F=510 N

Acceleration due to gravity = g =
`9.8 m/s^2`

Mass of the object = m

Force = mass × acceleration

`510 N=m* 9.8 m/s^2`

`m=52.04 kg\approx 52 kg`

The mass of an object is 52 kg.

Answer 2

52.0 kg

The force is due to gravity is given by:

Force = Mass × gravity

Let the acceleration due to gravity(g) on the surface of the earth to be 9.8 m/s²

510 N = m × 9.8

9.8m = 510

m = 510/9.8

= 52.04 Kg
