A 60.-kilogram physics student would weigh 1560
newtons on the surface of planet X. What is the
magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the
surface of planet X?

Relax

Respuesta :

Answer:

26m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the student  = 60kg

Weight  = 1560N

Unknown:

Acceleration due to gravity  = ?

Solution:

Weight is a force on a body due to gravity;

  Weight  = mass x gravity

   

Insert the given parameters and solve;

    1560  = 60 x gravity

    Gravity  = [tex]\frac{1560}{60}[/tex]   = 26m/s²
