An object of mass 5 kg weighs 30 N on planet Z. The acceleration due to gravity on planet z is?
a) 30 m/s^2
b) 10 m/s^2
c) 6 m/s^2
d) 0.17 m/s^2
e) 150 N
M*g = 30, g = 30/M.
To find the acceleration due to gravity on planet Z, we can use the formula for weight:
Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Given that the mass of the object is 5 kg and it weighs 30 N on planet Z, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the acceleration due to gravity:
Acceleration due to gravity = Weight / mass
Plugging in the values, we get:
Acceleration due to gravity = 30 N / 5 kg
Calculating this, we find:
Acceleration due to gravity = 6 m/s^2
Therefore, the correct answer is c) 6 m/s^2.
