At the surface of a certain planet, the gravitational acceleration g has a magnitude of 20.0 m/s^2. A 22.0-kg brass ball is transported to this planet.
What is (a) the mass of the brass ball on the Earth and on the planet, and (b) the weight of the brass ball on the Earth and on the planet?

Sagot :

Answer:

a, 22 kg and 22 kg

b, 215.8 N and 440 N

Explanation:

a

The mass of the ball remains constant and unchanged irrespective of where it has been to, need to go or is going. So, basically the mass of the ball on earth is as the same mass of the ball on the said planet, 22 kg

b

The weight of any object factors in the acceleration due to gravity of the said area(or planet).

W = mg, with m being the mass and g being the acceleration due to gravity.

On earth

W = 22 * 9.81 = 215.8 N

On the said planet,

W = 22 * 20 = 440 N

Do therefore, the weight is 215.8 N on earth and 440 N on the planet
