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 find the weight of an object on Mars, you need to multiply its mass by the acceleration due to gravity on Mars.
Weight = Mass * Acceleration due to gravity
Weight = 16 kg * 3.8 m/s^2 = 61.6 N
Therefore, an object with a mass of 16 kg would weigh approximately 61.6 N on Mars.
The correct answer is D. 61 N.
