Question

7. A rocket has a weight of 30,000 N on earth. a) What is the mass of the rocket in outer space? Use appropriate calculations and arguments to support your answer.

b) Calculate the weight of the rocket on planet X (g=7.5 N/Kg)
c) What is the weight of the rocket in outer space? Provide reasons to support your answer

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) mass=3000kg

b) weight on planet x=3000 × 7.5

=22,500N

c) Weight in outer space will be equal to zero

since the gravity in outer space is negligible
