Given parameters:
Mass on earth = 50kg
Unknown:
Mass on planet Xenon = ?
Weight on planet Xenon = ?
Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.
Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.
This translated gives = 4.9m/s²
Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.
In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity = 50 x 4.9 = 245N
The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg
Answer:
Option E is correct 310N
Explanation:
Given that the force used to push the crate is F = 200N
The force directed 20° below the horizontal
Mass of crate is m = 25kg
Weight of the crate can be determine using
W = mg
g is gravitational constant =9.8m/s²
W = 25×9.8
W = 245 N

Using newton second law along the vertical axis since we want to find the normal force
ΣFy = m•ay
ay = 0, since the body is not moving in the vertical or y direction
N—W—F•Sin20 = 0
N = W+F•Sin20
N = 245+ 200Sin20
N = 245 + 68.4
N = 313.4 N
The normal force is approximately 310 N to the nearest ten
