A body of mass 20kg is transferred from earth (grams=weight newton kg) to another planet where G=2 Newton kg,
1.Wat is the mass on earth?
2.wat is the wieght on earth?
3.wat is the mass on the other planet?
4.wat is the weight on the other planet?
I assume you meant that the gravitaional field constant is 2N/kg
Weight= mass*gravitationalfieldconstant
The gravitational field constant on earth is 9.8N/kg
i don't get wat u talkin about that's not wat i get in class so plz can u make it easier?
I have also answered this question, somewhere else. Please avoid multiple posts of the same question. I have counted four of this one.
To answer these questions, we need to understand the concepts of mass and weight.
1. What is the mass on Earth?
Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object and is measured in kilograms (kg). Since the mass of the object is given as 20 kg, the mass on Earth remains the same regardless of the gravitational force. Therefore, the mass on Earth is also 20 kg.
2. What is the weight on Earth?
Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. The weight of an object can be calculated using the equation: weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
So, to find the weight on Earth, multiply the mass (20 kg) by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2):
Weight on Earth = 20 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 196 Newtons (N)
3. What is the mass on the other planet?
The mass of an object is always constant regardless of the gravitational force. Therefore, the mass of the object on the other planet is still 20 kg.
4. What is the weight on the other planet?
To determine the weight on the other planet, we need to use the gravitational constant (G), which is specific to that planet. In this case, G is given as 2 Newton kg.
Using the formula weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, we can rearrange it to solve for weight:
Weight on the other planet = Mass on the other planet * acceleration due to gravity on the other planet
Weight on the other planet = Mass on the other planet * G
Substituting the values, Mass on the other planet = 20 kg and G = 2 Newton kg:
Weight on the other planet = 20 kg * 2 Newton kg = 40 Newtons (N)
So, the weight of the object on the other planet is 40 Newtons (N).
