Question

What is the mass of an object that experiences a gravitational force of 510 N near Earth's surface?

52.0 kg

53.0 kg

54.1 kg

51.0 kg

Answer 1

Answer:The mass of an object is 52 kg.

Explanation:

Gravitational force on the object ,F=510 N

Acceleration due to gravity = g = $9.8 m/s^2$

Mass of the object = m

Force = mass × acceleration

$510 N=m\times 9.8 m/s^2$

$m=52.04 kg\approx 52 kg$

The mass of an object is 52 kg.

Answer 2

Answer

52.0 kg

The force is due to gravity is given by:

Force = Mass × gravity

Let the acceleration due to gravity(g) on the surface of the earth to be 9.8 m/s²

510 N = m × 9.8

9.8m = 510

m = 510/9.8

    = 52.04 Kg
