Answer:

m = 0.51[kg]

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height.

E_{pot}=m*g*h

where:

Epot = potential energy = 15 [J]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.8 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 3 [m]

Now replacing:

E_{pot}=m*g*h\\15=m*9.8*3\\m = 0.51[kg]

an object weighs 98 n on earth. How much does it weigh on planet x where the acceleration due to gravity in 6 m/s^2
Degger [83]
60 N because 98N=mg (here g= 9.8 on earth) thus mass can be calculated which is 98/9.8 = 10kg Now,new weight with g = 6m/s^2 =m×g' (here g' is new acceleration of the new planet) = 10×6=60N
