Question

1. a suitcase with a mass of 2 kg has a weight of 18 n on a particular planet. what is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for weight

Weight \( W = m\times g\), where \(W\) is weight, \(m\) is mass, and \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity.

Step2: Rearrange the formula to solve for \(g\)

\(g=\frac{W}{m}\)

Step3: Substitute the given values

Given \(W = 18\space N\) and \(m=2\space kg\), then \(g=\frac{18}{2}\)

Answer:

\(9\space m/s^{2}\)
