the weight of the space probe on that planet is 50 N

What is weight?:

Weight can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration due to gravity. The s.i unit of weight is Newton (N)

To calculate the weight of the space probe, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • W = mg

Where:

  • W = weight of the space probe on the planet
  • m = mass of the space probe
  • g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 25 kg
  • a = 2 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • W = 25(2)
  • W = 50 N.

Hence, the weight of the space probe on that planet is 50 N
