Find the acceleration due to gravity on Mars if a person with a mass of 60.0 kg weighs 222 N. on Mars.

Sagot :

Acceleration = 3.7m/s^2


Using Newton's 2nd Law equation:

Force = Mass x Acceleration

You substitute the weight of 222N into force, this is because weight is the FORCE of an object due to gravity.


Rearranging the equation for acceleration:

Acceleration = Force/Mass

Substitute in the known values.

Mass = 60kg
Force = 222N

Acceleration = 222/60

Acceleration = 3.7 m/s^2
