Question

A space traveller weighs herself on earth, at a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.82 m/s^2, and finds a value of 593 N. What is her mass?

________kg
( please show steps so I may be able learn)
The traveller travels to a planet in a neighboring galaxy. It is a long trip, buy she somehow manages to maintain her physical condition by conscientious exercise and diet control. The acceleration on this planet is 12.9m/s^2. what is the travelers mass on this planet?

________kg

And her weight there?

_________N

Explanation / Answer

1) weight = mg = 593 N

m = weight / g = 593 / 9.82 = 60.387 kg

2) mass will not change, the traveler's mass = 60.387 kg

3) weight = mg = 60.387 * 12.9 = 778.99 N

remember to use the acceleration on that planet.
