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
61 N
c
96 N
d
4.2 N
To calculate the weight of an object on Mars, we can use the formula:
Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity
Therefore, the weight of the object on Mars would be:
Weight = 16 kg x 3.8 m/s^2 = 60.8 N
So, the correct option is:
b) 61 N
