The weight of this pony on Earth is 1960 N
How much will the pony weigh on Neptune? Gravity on Neptune has a value of 11.28 m/s2
a
1960 N
b
9.8 N
c
200 N
d
2256 N
To determine how much the pony will weigh on Neptune, we need to use the formula:
Weight = mass x gravity
Given that the weight of the pony on Earth is 1960 N, we can find the mass using the formula:
Weight = mass x gravity
1960 N = mass x 9.8 m/s^2
Rearranging the formula to solve for mass gives:
Mass = Weight / gravity
Mass = 1960 N / 9.8 m/s^2
Using the given value of gravity on Neptune (11.28 m/s^2), we can calculate the weight of the pony on Neptune using the formula:
Weight = mass x gravity
Weight = (1960 N / 9.8 m/s^2) x 11.28 m/s^2
Calculating this gives:
Weight = 1960 N x 11.28
Weight ≈ 22,060.8 N
Therefore, the pony will weigh approximately 22,060.8 N on Neptune.
The correct answer is option d) 22,060.8 N.
