Object E has a mass of 4,800 kilograms. Object F has a mass of 600 kilograms. Both objects were placed on different planets so that their weights are equal.
The gravity acting on Object E is ________ times the gravity acting on Object F.
1/8
1/4
1
8**
Am I correct
Think more fraction. which fraction times 600 equals 4800
1/8?
You are correct
Yes, you are correct! The gravity acting on Object E is 8 times the gravity acting on Object F.
To calculate the answer, you can use the formula for weight:
Weight = Mass × Gravity
Since the weight is equal for both objects, we can set up the equation:
Weight of Object E = Weight of Object F
Mass of Object E × Gravity of Planet E = Mass of Object F × Gravity of Planet F
Substituting the given values:
4,800 kg × Gravity of Planet E = 600 kg × Gravity of Planet F
Dividing both sides by 600 kg:
(4,800 kg × Gravity of Planet E) / 600 kg = Gravity of Planet F
Simplifying:
8 × Gravity of Planet E = Gravity of Planet F
So, the gravity acting on Object E is 8 times the gravity acting on Object F.
