Alan Weaver · Answer 1

Weight on Venus = 443.75 N

Explanation:

Weight of a body is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

So we have

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity

W = mg

Mass, m = 50 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 8.875 m/s²

W = 50 x 8.875 = 443.75 N

Weight on Venus = 443.75 N

Xander Wolf · Answer 2

443.75 N

Explanation:

Weight is the force with which a planet can attract anybody towards its centre.

Weight = mass of body * acceleration due to gravity on that planet

Weight = 50 * 8.875 = 443.75 N
