Question

If the textbook weighs 19.6 newtons on venus,what is the strength of gravity on venus?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 8.9 m/s2

Answer 2

The strength of gravity on Venus is
`8.9\ m/s^2`.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Let the mass of the textbook, m = 2.2. kg (let is assume)

Weight of the textbook, W = 19.6 N

We need to find the strength of gravity on Venus. We know that the weight of an object is given by the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. It is given by :

`W=mg`

g is strength of gravity on the Venus

`g=(W)/(m)`

`g=(19.6\ N)/(2.2\ kg)`

`g=8.9\ m/s^2`

So, the strength of gravity on Venus is
`8.9\ m/s^2`. Hence, this is the required solution.
