An exoplanet (JB-2285), located in the galaxy closest to ours, uses a system where the units of mass and force are phljmth and xwyflr. respectively. Xwyflr is defined as the unit of force required to accelerate a unit mass, phljmth, with the gravitational acceleration (in m/s2) on the surface of the exoplanet which is seven tenths of the gravitational acceleration on earth’s surface (9.8066 m/s2). a. What is the conversion factor to convert a force in xwyflr to force in phljmth●m/s2? b. Calculate the weight in xwyflr of a 14.28 phljmth object on the surface of the exoplanet JB-2285. c. Determine the weight of the object in (b) in Newtons (N) in Mintal, Davao City if 137.224 N = 1.00 xwyflr?
Gravitational force
In nature, every object is attracted by every other object. This phenomenon is called gravity. The force associated with gravity is called gravitational force. The gravitational force is the weakest force that exists in nature. The gravitational force is always attractive.
Acceleration Due to Gravity
In fundamental physics, gravity or gravitational force is the universal attractive force acting between all the matters that exist or exhibit. It is the weakest known force. Therefore no internal changes in an object occurs due to this force. On the other hand, it has control over the trajectories of bodies in the solar system and in the universe due to its vast scope and universal action. The free fall of objects on Earth and the motions of celestial bodies, according to Newton, are both determined by the same force. It was Newton who put forward that the moon is held by a strong attractive force exerted by the Earth which makes it revolve in a straight line. He was sure that this force is similar to the downward force which Earth exerts on all the objects on it.
