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

Respuesta :

In order to answer this, you can use this formula : 

F = m.a
which means
a = F/m
a = 18N / 2kg
a = 9 N/kg or 9m/s2

hope this helps

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity, [tex]g=9\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the suitcase, m = 2 kg

Weight on a particular planet, W = 18 N

We need to find the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. Weight of an object is given by :

[tex]W=mg[/tex]

g is the acceleration due to gravity

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

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

[tex]g=9\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration due to gravity on that planet is [tex]9\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
