Question

What would the weight of a 100-kg person be if they were on the planet Saturn? Saturn has an acceleration of gravity equal to 10.4m/s2

Answer 1

Answer:

1040N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the person  = 100kg

Acceleration due to gravity  = 10.4m/s²  

Unknown:

Weight  = ?

Solution:

The weight is the vertical force impacted by gravity on a body.

So;

     Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

    Weight  = 100 x 10.4  = 1040N
