Question

The magnitude of the weight of a 3.0 kg object on the surface of the earth is 29 N. True False

Answer 1

True

In fact, the weight of an object on the surface of the Earth is given by:
$F=mg$
where m is the mass of the object and $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface. If we use the mass of the object, m=3.0 kg, we find
$F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=29 N$

Answer 2

Answer:

True

Explanation:

3.0 * 9.8 = 29 N
