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