Question

a package was determined to have a mass of 5.7kilograms. what's the force of gravity acting on the package on earth?(a)37.93N(b)1.72N(c)13.44N(d)55.86N

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5586

Answer 2

The force of gravity on earth is 9.807 m/s^2 (or meters per second per second).
To determine the force applied, multiply the mass of the package (5.7 kg) by the force of gravity on Earth (9.807 m/s^2).
5.7 x 9.807 = 55.86 N The answer is D.

Note: the actual force is 55.89 Newtons.
