Question

A suitcase with a mass of kg 2 has a weight of 18n on a particular planet. What is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet

Answer 1

Answer:

$9\ \text{m/s}^2$

Explanation:

m = Mass of the object = 2 kg

W = Weight of the object = 18 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Weight of the an object is given by

$W=mg$

$\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{W}{m}$

$\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{18}{2}$

$\Rightarrow g=9\ \text{m/s}^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on that planet is $9\ \text{m/s}^2$.
