Question

The mass of an object is 50kg. If its weight is 1000N in a certain planet, calculate the gravitational field
strength of the planet

Answer 1

Answer:

20 $m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Weight = Mass * Acceleration

Given that,

Weight = 1000N

Mass = 50 kg

=> 1000 = 50 * Acceleration

=> Acceleration = 1000/50 = 20 $m/sec^2$

Hence, the gravitational field strength of the planet is 20 $m/s^2$.
