What is the weight of an object (mass = 60 kilograms) on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.75 meters/second2?. Select one of the options below as your answer:. A. 1.6 newtons. B. 16 newtons. C. 22.5 newtons. D. 225 newtons. E. 2250 newtons.
The weight (W) of an object is the product of its mass (m) and the acceleration (a). That is, W = m x a Substituting the known values give, W = (60 kg) x (3.75 m/s²) = 225 N Thus, the object's weight is 225 N. The answer is letter D.
