An object on Earth has a weight of 150 newtons. On
which planet would the same object have an
approximate weight of 170 newtons?
A) Venus
B) Saturn
C) Uranus
D) Neptune

Respuesta :

11.1m/sec² This value for the acceleration due to gravity holds on Saturn.

The correct option is B.

What is Gravitation?

All of the universe's material items are subject to the force of gravity, commonly known as gravitation. If there is a difference in mass between any two things or particles, gravity will tend to pull them in that direction. Whether they be subatomic particles or galaxy clusters, all objects are affected by gravity.

According to the given information:

The speed of gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/sec².

pertaining to a 150 newton item

As we can see that we are changing the planet so mass will be constant but gravity will change.

W=mg

Mass on earth:

150 =m * 9.8

m = 150/9.8

    = 15.3

15.3 = m in the formula (9.8)

It demonstrates that an object weighing 150 newtons would have a mass of 15.3 kilograms on Earth.

Using this mass as a substitute in the equation for Saturn:

acceleration due to gravity on Saturn = 11.1 m/sec²

W=mg

W= 15.9 * 11.1

   = 169

This value is to close to the given value

170 newtons equal 15.3 grams.

when used as a weight.

The acceleration of the second planet caused by gravity is about = 11.1m/sec²

11.1m/sec² This value for the acceleration due to gravity holds on Saturn.
