If a person weighs 818 n on earth and 5320 n on the surface of a nearby planet, what is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the person on Earth, W = 818 N

Weight of a person is given by the following formula as :

g is the acceleration due to gravity on earth

m = 83.46 kg

The mass of an object is same everywhere. It does not depend on the location.

Let W' is the weight of the person on the surface of a nearby planet, W' = 5320 N

g' is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. So,

So, the acceleration due to gravity on that planet is . Hence, this is the required solution.                                                                    

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy
