Question

What is your weight on Venus, assuming that the acceleration due to gravity on Venus is 8.875 m/s^2 and your mass is 50 kg.

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight on Venus = 443.75 N

Explanation:

Weight of a body is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

So we have

       Weight =  Mass x Acceleration due to gravity

        W = mg

        Mass, m = 50 kg

        Acceleration due to gravity, g = 8.875 m/s²

        W = 50 x 8.875 = 443.75 N

Weight on Venus = 443.75 N

Answer 2

Answer:

443.75 N

Explanation:

Weight is the force with which a planet can attract anybody towards its centre.

Weight = mass of body × acceleration due to gravity on that planet

Weight = 50 × 8.875 = 443.75 N
