A suitcase with a mass of kg 2 has a weight of 18n on a particular planet. What is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]9\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

Explanation:

m = Mass of the object = 2 kg

W = Weight of the object = 18 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Weight of the an object is given by

[tex]W=mg[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{W}{m}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{18}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow g=9\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

The acceleration due to gravity on that planet is [tex]9\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex].
