Question

Find the mass of an object on planet F if its weight is 650 N (g = 13m/s^2)

Answer 1

Answer:

the object's mass is 50 kg

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law to solve for the mass:

F = m * a , then   m = F / a

In our case, the acceleration is the gravitational acceleration on the planet, and the force is the weight of the object on the planet. So we get:

m = w / a = 650 N / 13 m/s^2 = 50 kg

Then, the object's mass is 50 kg.
