Answer 1

607.68N [weight on planet Y]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula

`w = mg`

Where w is the weight, m is the mass and g is the gravity.

Gravity (g) on planet Y is 14.4 m/s/s

Object has a mass (m) of 42.2 kg

Weight (w) on planet Y is w

-

NOTE: '•' MEANS MULTIPLICATION

NOTE: WEIGHT IS MEASURED IN NEWTONS (N)

-

Inputing the values into the formula, and solving it...

• w = mg
• w = 42.2 • 14.4
• w = 607.68

== 607.68N [weight on planet Y]
