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
