1) Answer:
98 N
Explanation:
The weight of an object is given by:
[tex]W=mg[/tex]
where m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational acceleration. In this case, m=10 kg, therefore the weight of the lemur is
[tex]W=mg=(10 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=98 N[/tex]
2) Answer:
87 N
Explanation:
The value of g at the International Space Station is [tex]8.7 m/s^2[/tex]. Therefore, the weight of the lemur on the Space Station will be
[tex]W=mg=(10 kg)(8.7 m/s^2)=87 N[/tex]
