Question

An object on Earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2) has a weight of 62 N.

1) What is the mass of the object on Earth?

2) What is the mass of the object on Mars?

3) What is the weight of the object on Mars?
(g = 3.7 m/s^2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The weight of a body is defined as the product of mass by the acceleration gravitation of space or place.

1)

$W=m*g$

where:

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.8 [m/s²]

Therefore:

$m=W/g\\m=62/9.8\\m=6.32[kg]$

2)

The mass remains the same regardless of where the object or body is located. That is, the mass will be equal on Mars and on Earth.

3)

We used the same equation to determine the weight, using the Mars gravity constant.

$W=6.32*3.7\\W=23.4[N]$
