Question

A space traveler discovers that her weight on a new planet is 192 newtons. Her mass is 68 kilograms. What is the gravitational acceleration of the new planet?

A). 2.8 m/s²

В.) 9.8 m/s²

C.) 34 m/s²

D.) 68 m/s²​

Answer 1

g ≈ 2.82 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

By W = mg,

W = weight (in newtons)

m = mass (in kg)

g = gravitational acceleration (in m/s^2)

`192 = 68g`

`g = 2.82352941176 m/s^2`

g ≈ 2.82 m/s^2
