Question

If a chicken has a weight of 300 N on Earth, what would be its weight on Mercury if the gravity is 0.38.​

Answer 1

113.15 g

Step-by-step explanation:

That's because the planets weigh different amounts, and therefore the force of gravity is different from planet to planet. For example, if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 38 pounds on Mercury. That's because Mercury weighs less than Earth, and therefore its gravity would pull less on your body.

Answer 2

114N

Step-by-step explanation:

gravity on earth: 10m/s (exact: 9.82)

mass if chicken = 300/10 = 30Kg

weight of chicken on mercury = 3.8 x 30 = 114N (you wrote 0.38 but Mercury's gravity is about 3.7)
