Question

The weight of an object is the product of its mass, mmm, and the acceleration of gravity, ggg (where g=9.8 m/s2g=9.8 m/s2). If an object’s mass is m=10. kgm=10. kg, what is its weight? Express the weight with the appropriate units.

Answer 1

Answer:

98 N

Explanation:

Given that

Mass m = 10 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s^2

Where the weight of an object is the product of its mass, and the acceleration of gravity. That is,

W = mg

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

W = 10 × 9.8

W = 98 N

Therefore, the weight of the object is 98 Newton
