Question

an object weighs 98 n on earth. How much does it weigh on planet x where the acceleration due to gravity in 6 m/s^2

Answer 1

60 N because 98N=mg (here g= 9.8 on earth) thus mass can be calculated which is 98/9.8 = 10kg Now,new weight with g = 6m/s^2 =m×g' (here g' is new acceleration of the new planet) = 10×6=60N

Answer 2

Answer:

The weight on planet x is 60 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of an object on earth, W = 98 N

Value of acceleration due to gravity, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

Weight, $W=mg$

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}=\dfrac{98\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}=10\ kg$

Since, mass of an object remains same everywhere.

If the value of acceleration due to gravity on planet x is, $a=6\ m/s^2$

So, weight on the planet x is,

$W=m\times a$

$W=10\ kg\times 6\ m/s^2$

W = 60 N

So, the weight on planet x is 60 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
