The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.8 m/s2. How much would an object with a mass of 16 kg weigh on Mars?
a
16 N
b
96 N
c
4.2 N
d
61 N
To calculate the weight of an object on Mars, we use the formula: weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity. In this case, the mass is 16 kg and the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.8 m/s^2.
Therefore, the weight of the object on Mars would be:
weight = 16 kg x 3.8 m/s^2 = 61.6 N
So the object with a mass of 16 kg would weigh approximately 61 N on Mars.
The correct answer is d) 61 N.
