Answer:
a) F = 250 [N]
Explanation:
Force can be calculated by means of Newton's second law, which tells us that force is the product of mass by acceleration.
a)
F = m*a
where:
F = force [N]
m = mass = 25[kg]
a = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]
F = 25*10 = 250 [N]
Yes, this force would be different on Mars, since the gravitational acceleration of Mars is different from that of Earth.
gm = Martian gravity = 3.72 [m/s²]
Fm = 3.72*25 = 93 [N]
