Question

A suitcase with a mass of kg 2 has a weight of 18n on a particular planet. What is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet

Answer 1

`9\ \text{m/s}^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

m = Mass of the object = 2 kg

W = Weight of the object = 18 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Weight of the an object is given by

`W=mg`

`\Rightarrow g=(W)/(m)`

`\Rightarrow g=(18)/(2)`

`\Rightarrow g=9\ \text{m/s}^2`

The acceleration due to gravity on that planet is
`9\ \text{m/s}^2`.
