If a person weighs 818 N on earth and 5320 N on the surface of a nearby planet, what is the acceleratic due to gravity on that planet?

a. 55.4 m/s?

b.46.5 m/s?

c.63.7 m/s?

d.73.3 m/s

It would be c.
Gravity force on earth: 9.8N or m/s estimed to 10N
818/10= 81.8 kg on earth
form the equation:
81.8×x=5320
If we solve this equation we will get an answer near 63.7 m/s.

Answer:

65.03 m/s2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Force may be defined as the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity. Force can change the shape and size of the object. The S.I. unit of force is newton.

The mass of the individual = Force on earth / acceleration.

Mass = 818 / 10

Mass = 81.8 kg.

The acceleration on the planet can be calculated by the formula:

Force = mass × acceleration.

acceleration = force/ mass

Here, force = 5320 and mass = 81.8 kg

acceleration = 5320/81.8

acceleration = 65.03 m/s2.

Thus, the answer is 65.03 m/s2..
