Question

question 2 of 10
a car has a mass of 550 kg. what is the weight of the car?
a. 550 n
b. 7250 n
c. 6335 n
d. 5390 n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for weight

Weight \( W = mg\), where \(m\) is mass and \(g = 9.8\space m/s^{2}\) (acceleration due to gravity).

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(m = 550\space kg\) and \(g=9.8\space m/s^{2}\), then \(W=550\times9.8\).
Calculate \(550\times9.8=(500 + 50)\times9.8=500\times9.8+50\times9.8=4900+490 = 5390\space N\).

Answer:

D. \(5390\space N\)
