The gravitational field strength of Venus at its surface is 8.8 N/kg. Identify the weight of a 2 kg brick on Venus.4.4 kg4.4 N8.8 N17.6 N17.6 kgI'm not sure

1. Break Down the Problem

To find the weight of a 2 kg brick on the surface of Venus, we need to use the gravitational field strength and apply the formula:

$\text{Weight} = \text{Mass} \times \text{Gravitational Field Strength}$

2. Relevant Concepts

The gravitational field strength (g) is given as $8.8 \, \text{N/kg}$. The mass (m) of the brick is $2 \, \text{kg}$.

3. Analysis and Detail

We can substitute the values into the formula:

$\text{Weight} = 2 \, \text{kg} \times 8.8 \, \text{N/kg}$

4. Verify and Summarize

Calculating the above expression:

$\text{Weight} = 2 \times 8.8 = 17.6 \, \text{N}$

Final Answer

The weight of a 2 kg brick on Venus is 17.6 N.
