Answer:
The space cadet that weighs 800 N on Earth will weigh 1,600 N on the exoplanet
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The mass of the exoplanet = 1/2×The mass of the Earth, M = 1/2 × M
The radius of the exoplanet = 50% of the radius of the Earth = 1/2 × The Earth's radius, R = 50/100 × R = 1/2 × R
The weight of the cadet on Earth = 800 N
Therefore, for the weight of the cadet on the exoplanet, W₁, we have;
The weight of a space cadet on the exoplanet, that weighs 800 N on Earth = 1,600 N.
