Question

The force of gravity on Planet A is 5.7 m/s2. How much would an object with a mass of 5 kg weigh on Planet A?

1.14 N
28.5 N
0.88 N

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Force of gravity on planet A,
`a=5.7\ m/s^2`

We need to find the weight of a 5 kg object on planet A. It is given by using second law of motion. Force is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

`F=m* a`

`F=5\ kg* 5.7\ m/s^2`

F = 28.5 N

So, the weight of the object on planet A is 28.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
