Calculate the weight of an object with a mass of 50 kg on a planet with an acceleration due to gravity of 2.0 m/s2.
a. .04 N
b. 25 N
c. 100 N

Respuesta :

it is the option c.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Basically force is given by the formula.

F= ma

Where m is mass of the body and 'a' is acceleration.

Here the time is not given, hence it is not possible to calculate acceleration, as acceleration is given by the formula

a= v/t

So most probably the question is wrong.

However if we take acceleration= 2m/s^2

Then F= ma= 50*2= 100N

However if the question was to find energy then it is sufficient to find kinetic energy as moving objects possess kinetic energy.kinetic energy is given by the formula:

KE= 1/2*m* v^2

I.e, KE= 1/2 * 50 * 2* 2
