Question

the weight of an object on a distant planet is 600 newtons, and its mass is 294.56kg, what is the acceleration of gravity on that planet?

Answer 1

Formula to use:

`{\large{\boxed{\sf{g\:=\:(w)/(m)}}`

w = weight

m = mass

g = gravitational field strength.

Given:

w = weight

m = 294.56

g = ?

Solution:

`{\tt{g\:=\:(600)/(294.56)}`

`{\tt{g\:=\:2.04\:m/s^2`

Answer:

`{\boxed{\tt{g\:=\:2.04\:m/s^2}}}`
