Question

(Use g=9.8m/s^2.)
If I weigh 707N on earth and 5320N on the surface of a nearby planet,what is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet?

Answer 1

\[F=ma\]
mass unchanging
\[\frac{ 707 }{ 9,8 }=m\]
use same mass in
\[5320=(m)(a)\]
get a

Answer 2

alternatively by propotion
\[\frac{ 707 }{ 9,8 }=\frac{ 5320 }{ a }\]
solve a

Answer 3

Thanks much.
