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
96 N
b
61 N
c
16 N
d
4.2 N
To calculate the weight of an object on Mars, we can use the formula: weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity.
The mass of the object is given as 16 kg and the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.8 m/s².
Therefore, the weight of the object on Mars would be:
weight = 16 kg * 3.8 m/s² = 61.6 N
So, the correct answer is b) 61 N.
