An Astronaut lands on an Earthlike planet and drops a small lead ball with a mass from the top of her spaceship. The point of release is 25 m above the surface of the planet and the ball takes 5 s to reach the ground. The astronaut's mass is 80 kg. Astronaut weight on the planet is PLEASE NO LINKS, REAL ANSWERS DON'T WASTE TIME.

First we have to find out the gravity on that planet. We use Newton second equation of motion. It is given as,

s = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^{2}s=ut+

2

1

gt

2

Distance s = 25m

Time t = 5 s

Velocity u = 0

By putting these values,

25 = 1/2.g.(5)²

g = 2

So the gravity on that planet is 2. Lets find out the weight of the astronaut.

Mass of the astronaut on earth m = 80 kg

Weight of astronaut on earth W = mg = (80)(9.8) = 784 N

Weight of astronaut on earth like planet = (80)(2) = 160 N

x = 160N
