"weight" problem (conceptual)
an object has a mass of 25kg on Earth. If the same object is moved to an inclined plane in Venus, where the acceleration due to gravity is 8.8m/s^2, how does its weight compare to when it was still on earth??
a. Wvenus > Wearth
b. Wvenus = Wearth
c. Wvenus < Wearth
d. it depends on the angle of inclination of the inclined plane in venus
e. it depends on the friction between the plane and the object
W = mg
i'm not sure whether the angle of inclination is to be used here
i think it's C :p not sure though
