What is the acceleration of gravity on Mars if a person with a mass of 60.0 kg weight 222 N on Mars?

The mass (m) is given as 60kg and the force (f ) is the gravitational force acting on a body of such mass (this equates to the weight). We use" f = ma", where a is the acceleration.
So the answer is: a = f/m = 222/60 = 3.7 (meters per second squared).

∙ 11y agoThere's something wrong here. That value of 20 N (Newtons) is far too small.
I'll assume it was meant to be 200 Newtons. That will give a realistic answer.
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.
So, in this case: 200 = 50 x acceleration on Mars. This makes the acceleration of
gravity on Mars to be 4 (meters per second squared).
The true value is about 3.7 meters per second squared.

∙ 12y agoThe equation for calculating weight is mass x acceleration of gravity=weight in newtons. (m x g=N). Solve for g. The equation is mass / weight= acceleration. 222/60=3.7 m/s2.

∙ 11y agoThe equation is: weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.
So the acceleration in this case is:
222/60=3.7 (meters per second squared)

∙ 12y agoif you were on the surface of mars, which has an acceleration due to gravity of 3.73 (m/s)/s, with a mass of 70 kg:
f = m * a
f = 70 * 3.73
f = 261.1 newtons

How strong is mars gravity compared to earths?
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars is 3.722 m/s2 .That's about 38 percent of its value on Earth.
Why would friction affect gravity?
Gravitational acceleration is a constant value for a celestial body, and doesn't depend on air resistance/friction. The value on Earth is constant anywhere on Earth, just like the value on Mars is constant anywhere on Mars. In practical,however, this is different. Air resistance lowers the value of gravitational acceleration.
If a person's mass is 32 kg on mars what would their mass be on earth?
If your mass is 40kg on Earth, you would weighabout 392 Newtons depending on your location. This is because the Earth exerts 9.8 Newtons of gravitational force on a body per kilogram of that body's mass. In the US, you would say you weighed about 88 pounds.On Mars, a 40 kg person would weigh about 148 Newtons, or about 33 pounds.Because many countries now use SI units inappropriately, there is some confusion about the difference between mass and weight. If you are asking this question for a physics assignment, the answer is 40 kg, but that would be your mass, not your weight. If you are asking because you want to know what it would be like on Mars, you could say that you would feel like you were 15 kg on the equator of Mars...but actually you would feel heavier because you wouldn't have exercised your legs at all in about 6 months.Sources: High school physics, Wikipedia (Mars article) and Cornell.edu
How are mars and earth similar?
Earth and Mars are both terrestrial planets. Both planets have about the same amount of dry land surface areas. Mars, like Earth, has volcanoes, canyons, and impact craters.
How much does 6kg weight in newtons?
"Newton" is a unit of force, whereas "kilogram" is a unit of mass. To find the weight of any mass, multiply the mass by the local acceleration of gravity. -- On Earth, 600 kilograms of mass weigh 5,884.2 newtons. (rounded) -- On the moon, the same 600 kilograms weigh 973.8 newtons. (rounded) -- On Mars, the same 600 kilograms weigh 2,226.6 newtons. (rounded) -- In other places, the same mass has different weight. -- If it's inside a space vehicle coasting from one place to another, it has no weight at all.
How strong is mars gravity compared to earths?
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars is 3.722 m/s2 .That's about 38 percent of its value on Earth.
Why is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one third the acceleration due to gravity on earths surface?
Because the acceleration of gravity on the surface of any given body depends on the mass of the body and its radius ... the distance of the surface from the center. Mars' mass ... about 11% of Earth's ... and Mars' radius ... about 53% of Earth's ... combine to produce about 38% of Earth's gravitational acceleration at the surface of Mars.
What is the acceleration rate on mars?
Acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.711 m/s2.
Does mars have any gravity?
Yes. Any body with mass has gravity. Mars gravity is about 37% of earth's gravity at the surface. A person with a weight of 200 pounds on earth would be an energetic 74 pounds on Mars.
How does the force due to gravity on Mars compare to the force due to gravity on Earth?
The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Mars is approximately 3.7 m/s2. Earth's acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 on average. The force that gravity would exert on an object is dependent on its mass.
How much would a 1kg of sugar weigh on mars?
1 kg of anything will weigh approximately 3.7 Newtons on Mars. (Force weight = mass * acceleration of gravity)
Is the acceleration of gravity on mars is greater than the acceleration of gravity on earth?
No. It's about 3.80 m/s/s as opposed to 9.81 on earth.
If you weight 300 Newtons on earth then what is your mass and weight in mars?
You need to:1) Divide the weight by Earth's gravity, to get the mass. 2) Remember that the mass will be the same on Mars. 3) Multiply the mass by the gravity of Mars, to get the weight on Mars.
How much would a 65kg person weigh on mars?
All you need to know to answer this question is the acceleration due to gravity on Mars, which is 3.71 m/s. Plugging that number into the equation F = m*gm, where F is the force on the object due to gravity, also called its weight, m is the mass of the object and gm is the acceleration due to gravity on Mars. The result is 185.5 kg*m/s or 185.5 N.
How much gravity on planet Mars?
On Mars, there is low gravity, so there you could jump twice as high as you can on Earth. The acceleration due to gravity on mars is 3.71 m/s2, which is 0.379 times that of Earth. (The gravity on Earth is 2.64 times greater than the gravity on Mars.)
What is the surface gravity in metric units on mars?
The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Mars is 3.722 m/s2 .That's about 37.95% of its value on Earth.
What is the weight of a 1 kilogram brick?
weight of 1Kg brick on mars equals to mass of brick into acceleration due to gravity on Mars. approximately 1 newton
