Answer:

5.65 m/s²

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the mass of PJ when in San Diego (i.e Earth). This can be obtained as follow:

Weight of PJ on Earth (Wₑ) = 545 N

Acceleration due to gravity (g) on Earth (gₑ) = 10 m/s²

Mass of PJ on Earth (mₑ) =.?

Wₑ = mₑ × gₑ

545 = mₑ × 10

Divide both side by 10

mₑ = 545 / 10

mₑ = 54.5 Kg

Thus, the mass of PJ on San Diego (i.e Earth) is 54.5 Kg

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration due to gravity of planet Koja. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight of PJ on Koja (Wₖ) = 308 N

Mass of PJ on Koja (mₖ) = mass of PJ on Earth (mₑ) because mass is constant irrespective of location.

Mass of PJ on Earth (mₑ) = 54.5 Kg

Mass of PJ on Koja (mₖ) = 54.5 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity of on Koja (gₖ) =?

Wₖ = mₖ × gₖ

308 = 54.5 × gₖ

Divide both side by 54.5

gₖ = 308 / 54.5

gₖ = 5.65 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on planet Koja is 5.65 m/s²

Answer:

<u>The asteroid was not detected until it was extremely close to Earth. </u>

Explanation:

According to data from NASA, the Asteroid named 'Astriod 2019 OK', was detected when it was extremely close to earth with just about an estimated distance of 73,000 kilometers (45,000 miles) from the Earth.

Scientists were concerned at the proximity of this space object to the Earth before it was discovered, and it brought about a cause of concern that since it was not extremely large (estimated 57 to 130 meters wide) it creates a potential for other smaller asteroids to escape detection and struck the earth.
