Answer:
32.5 N
Explanation:
What the question is basically is asking is the weight of the dog. According to the law of acceleration, F = ma (where m = mass and a=acceleration). On Earth we are constantly being pulled at an acceleration of 9.8m/s² towards Earth. On the moon it is different.
The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.625m/s². This means when we're on the moon we gain an acceleration of 1.625m/s².
Using this, we can calculate the force of gravity on a dog on the moon, based on its mass.
F =ma
F = (20 kg)(1.625m/s²)
F = 32.5 kg.m/s² or in SI units 32.5 N.
Answer : The force of gravity on a dog in a space suit is, 35.60 N
Explanation :
Force : It is defined as the product of mass of an object and acceleration of an object.
Formula used :
[tex]Force=Mass\times Acceleration[/tex]
Given:
Mass = 20 kg
Acceleration or Gravity on or near the moon's surface = [tex]1.63m/s^2[/tex]
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
[tex]Force=20kg\times 1.63m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]Force=35.60N[/tex]
Therefore, the force of gravity on a dog in a space suit is, 35.60 N
