Calculate the weight of an object with a mass of 50 kg on a planet with an acceleration due to gravity of 2.0 m/s2.
a
.04 N
b
100 N
c
25 N
d
52 N
The weight of an object is given by the formula:
weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
In this case, the mass is given as 50 kg and the acceleration due to gravity is given as 2.0 m/s2, so we can plug in these values and solve:
weight = 50 kg x 2.0 m/s2 = 100 N
Therefore, the weight of the object is 100 N, which is option b.
