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
4.2 N
c
61 N
d
96 N
The weight of an object can be calculated using the formula:
Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity
So, on Mars, the weight of an object with a mass of 16 kg would be:
Weight = 16 kg * 3.8 m/s^2 = 60.8 N
Therefore, the correct answer is c) 61 N.
