A 25.0 kg probe fell freely with acceleration of 2.00 m/s^2 just before it landed on a distant planet. What is the weight of the space probe on that planet

Respuesta :

NotNav

Answer:

The weight of the probe is 50 Newtons

Explanation:

Newtons second law states that F = ma

Given the mass of 25kg, and the acceleration of 2m/s^2, we can substitute both values into the equation to find the weight force.

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

[tex]F = 25 * 2[/tex]

[tex]F = 50N[/tex]

The weight of the probe is 50 Newtons
