Question

If the textbook weight 19.6 newtons on venus, what is the strenght of gravity on that planet?

Answer 1

Answer:

8.91m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were referring to the question :

If a 2.2 kg textbook weighs 19.6 newtons on Venus, what is the strength of gravity on that planet then read on.

Weight is the force of gravity on an object and it can be computed using the formula:

W = mg

where:

W = weight (N)

m = mass (kg)

g = acceleration due to gravity

So we know the weight and the mass of the object, all we do is plug it into our formula and solve for what we do not know.

$W = mg\\\\19.6N = (2.2kg)(g)\\\\ \dfrac{16.6N}{2.2kg} = g\\\\8.91m/s^{2} = g$
