0.29 m/s²
9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

What is the weight of a 2.00-kilogram object on the surface of Earth?

2.00 N

4.91 N

9.81 N

19.6 N

Given parameters:

Mass of the object = 2kg

Unknown:

Weight of the object  = ?

Solution:

The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on the object;

 Weight  =  mass x acceleration due to gravity

Acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Weight  = 2 x 9.8 = 19.6N

A person weighing 785 Newtons on the surface of the Earth would weigh 47 Newtons on the surface of Pluto. What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on the surface of Pluto?

1.7 m/s²

0.59 m/s²

0.29 m/s²

9.8 m/s²

Given parameters:

Weight on Earth  = 785N

Weight on Pluto = 47N

Unknown:

Acceleration due to gravity on Pluto = ?

Solution

The mass of the body both on Earth and Pluto is the same.

  Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Now find the mass on Earth;

  Acceleration due to gravity on Earth  = 9.8m/s²

    785   = mass x 9.8

         mass  =   = 80.1kg

So;

  Acceleration due to gravity on Pluto =  

  Acceleration due to gravity  =   = 0.59m/s²

the answer would be a
