Answer:

The strength of gravity on Pluto is 0.6 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given mass of the shoe = 0.5 kg

The weight of the shoe (on Pluto), W = 0.3 N

Therefore, given that weight, W = Mass × The acceleration due to gravity, We have;

The strength of gravity = The force gravity applies to each unit of mass = The acceleration due to gravity (in m/s²)

The weight of the shoe, W = The mass of the shoe × The strength of gravity on Pluto

Substituting the known values, gives;

0.3 = 0.5 × The strength of gravity on Pluto

∴ The strength of gravity on Pluto = 0.6 m/s².
