Gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2, and gravity on Mars is 3.7 m/s2.

Jaden’s mass is 50 kilograms. His weight on Earth is _____

newtons, and his weight on Mars is _____

newtons.

Verified Answer :

w = mg

Weight on Earth = 50 x 9.8
                          = 490 N

Weight on Mars = 50 x 3.7
                          = 185 N

Answer

Weight of the Jaden on earth is 490 N.

Weight of the Jaden on mars is 185 N.

Explanation:

Formula

w = mg

Where w is the weight of an object , m is the mass of an object and g is acceleration of gravity .

Case First

Gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s² .

Jaden’s mass is 50 kilograms.

g = 9.8 m /s²

m = 50

Put the values in the formula

Thus

w = 50 × 9.8

   = 490 kg m /s²

(As N = kg m/ s²)

   = 490 N

Therefore the weight of the Jaden on earth is 490 N.

Case Second

Gravity on Mars is 3.7 m/s².

Jaden’s mass is 50 kilograms.

m = 50 kg

g = 3.7 m/s²

Putting the values in the formula

w = 50 × 3.7

   = 185 kg m/s²

(As N = kg m/ s²)

  = 185 N

Therefore the weight of the Jaden on mars is 185 N.
