You fly to Venus and find that your mass is 100 kg, and you have a weight of 90 N. What is the acceleration of gravity on Venus?
Options
A
3.6 m/s2
B
4.9 m/s2
C
0.9 m/s2
D
1.2 m/s2
Answer & Analysis
Answer
C
Analysis
We can use the relationship between weight, mass, and gravitational acceleration to find the acceleration of gravity on Venus. The weight of an object is given by the formula:
W=m×g
Where:
W is the weight of the object (90 N in this case),
m is the mass of the object (100 kg in this case), and
g is the gravitational acceleration.
We can rearrange this formula to solve for the gravitational acceleration
