Physics

"Zero acceleration" means "velocity" that's not changing.

Sadly, it seems that both of these words are almost always
misinterpreted and misunderstood. "Acceleration" does NOT
mean "speeding up", and "velocity" does NOT mean speed.

"Velocity" is the speed AND direction of motion.  So, for example,
'30 miles per hour north' and '30 miles per hour west' are the same
speed but different velocities.

"Acceleration" is ANY change in speed OR direction.  Consider three
different families in three different cars.  One car is speeding up, one is
slowing down, and the third is driving around a curve at a steady speed.
ALL three of the cars are accelerating.

The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto is about . 0.61 meters/second2. How much will an object that weighs 250 ne
Annette [7]
First, determine the mass of the object by dividing its weight on Earth by 9.8 m/s² as shown below,
                                   m = 250 N / 9.8 m/s² = 25.51 kg
Then, multiply the obtained mass by the acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto. 
                                  W (in Pluto) = (25.51 kg) x (0.61 m/s²)  = 15.56 N
Therefore, the object will only weigh 15.56 N.
