Question

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

Answer 1

In order to answer this, you can use this formula :

F = m.a
which means
a = F/m
a = 18N / 2kg
a = 9 N/kg or 9m/s2

hope this helps

Answer 2

Acceleration due to gravity,
`g=9\ m/s^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the suitcase, m = 2 kg

Weight on a particular planet, W = 18 N

We need to find the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. Weight of an object is given by :

`W=mg`

g is the acceleration due to gravity

`g=(W)/(m)`

`g=(18)/(2)`

`g=9\ m/s^2`

So, the acceleration due to gravity on that planet is
`9\ m/s^2`. Hence, this is the required solution.
