Question

Commander Shepard, an N7 spectre for Earth, weighs 799 N on the Earth's surface. When she lands on Noveria, a distant planet in our galaxy, she weighs 356 N. What is the acceleration of gravity on Noveria in m/s2? Round to one decimal place. (hint: first find her mass!)

Answer 1

Acceleration of gravity on Noveria = 4.4 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Commander Shepard, an N7 spectre for Earth, weighs 799 N on the Earth's surface.

We have weight, W = mg

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81m/s²

799 = m x 9.81

Mass of Shepard, m = 81.45 kg

She lands on Noveria, a distant planet in our galaxy, she weighs 356 N.

We have weight, W = mg'

356 = 81.45 xg'

Acceleration of gravity on Noveria, g' = 4.4 m/s²
