To find the weight of the pony on Neptune, we need to use the formula:
Weight = Mass x Gravity
Since the weight of the pony on Earth is given as 1960 N, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the mass:
Mass = Weight / Gravity
Mass = 1960 N / 9.8 m/s^2
Mass = 200 kg
Now, we can calculate the weight of the pony on Neptune using the same formula:
Weight on Neptune = Mass x Gravity on Neptune
Weight on Neptune = 200 kg x 11.28 m/s^2
Weight on Neptune = 2256 N
Therefore, the weight of the pony on Neptune is 2256 N (option d).
The weight of this pony on Earth is 1960 N
