question 1
calculate the force due to gravity (weight) of a 150 g (0.150 kg) object in newtons. take g = 9.81 m/s^2
a 0.98 n
b 1.47 n
c 14.7 n
d 1472 n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for weight

The formula for weight \(F = mg\), where \(m\) is the mass and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(m = 0.150\space kg\) and \(g=9.81\space m/s^{2}\). Then \(F=(0.150)(9.81)\).

Step3: Calculate the product

\(F = 0.150\times9.81=1.4715\approx1.47\space N\)

Answer:

B. \(1.47\space N\)
