Newton's Second Law:
F(or weight) = mass x acceleration.
so, a = F/mass = 3.45/1.5
You do the math and don't forget the units!

To find the acceleration on planet X, we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration.
First, we need to determine the mass of the object. We are given that the object weighs 3.45 N on planet X. Weight is the force due to gravity acting on an object, and it is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.
On any planet, the force due to gravity can be calculated using the formula:
Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Given that the weight of the object is 3.45 N, and the mass is 1.5 kg, we can rearrange the formula and solve for the acceleration due to gravity:
3.45 N = 1.5 kg * acceleration due to gravity
Dividing both sides of the equation by 1.5 kg:
acceleration due to gravity = 3.45 N / 1.5 kg
Solving this equation, we find:
acceleration due to gravity = 2.3 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration on planet X is 2.3 m/s^2.
