The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto is about 0.61 meters/second2. How much will an object that weighs 250 newtons on Earth weigh on Pluto? Note that the value of acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 meters/second2.

Sagot :

The weight of the object on pluto will be 15.56 N

What is Newton's law of gravitation?

Newton's law of gravity states that each particle having mass in the universe attracts each other particle with a force known as the gravitational force.

Given data;

[tex]\rm g_e[/tex] is the acceleration due to gravity on earth.

m is the mass of an object

[tex]\rm g_p[/tex] is the acceleration due to gravity on pluto.

[tex]\rm W_e[/tex] is the weight of the object on earth

[tex]\rm W_ p[/tex] is the weight of an object on pluto

The mass of the object on the earth's surface is found as;

We = m × ge

m = W / ge

m = 250 / 9.81

m = 25.51  kg

The weight of the object on pluto.

Wp = m × gp

Wp = 25.51  kg × 0.61  m/s²

Wp =15.56 N.

Hence the weight of the object on pluto will be 15.56 N
