Answer:
2.45 m/s²
Explanation:
From the question,
On the Earth
W = mg.................. Equation 1
Where W = weight of the alien on the earth, m = mass of the alien on the earth, g = acceleration due to gravity of the earth.
Make m the subject of equation 1
m = W/g................... Equation 2
Given: W = 3200 N
Constant: 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these value into equation 2
m = 3200/9.8
m = 326.5 kg.
Similarly,
On planet 9,
W' = mg'............... Equation 3
Where W' = weight of the alien on planet 9, g' = acceleration due to gravity on planet 9.
make g' the subject of the equation
g' = W'/m............ Equation 4
Given: W' = 800 N
Substitute into equation 4
g' = 800/326.5
g' = 2.45 m/s²
