An object weighs 34 Kg on earth. Note: The Earth's gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. How would you describe the object?
The object weighs 34 Kg on earth and its weight is due to the gravitational force exerted by the earth's gravitational field with a strength of 10 N/kg.
To describe the object, we need to compare its weight on Earth with its mass.
The weight of an object is the force with which it is pulled towards the center of the Earth by gravity. The weight can be calculated using the formula:
Weight = mass × gravitational field strength
Given that the weight of the object on Earth is 34 kg and the gravitational field strength on Earth is 10 N/kg, we can substitute these values into the formula to find the mass:
34 kg = mass × 10 N/kg
Dividing both sides of the equation by 10 N/kg, we get:
34 kg / 10 N/kg = mass
Simplifying the equation, we find that the mass of the object is:
3.4 kg
Therefore, the object has a mass of 3.4 kg.
