Question

1. if an objects mass is 1 kg, what is its weight on earth? plug the appropriate values into the below equation to solve for weight, $f_g$.

$f_g = mg$

1. if an objects mass is 5 kg, what is its weight on earth? plug the appropriate values into the below equation to solve for weight, $f_g$.

$f_g = mg$

1. if an objects mass is 1,000 kg, what is its weight on earth? plug the appropriate values into the below equation to solve for weight, $f_g$.

$f_g = mg$

1. thought experiment: if the 1,000 kg object is taken to the moon...

a. what do you think will happen to its weight? will it increase, decrease or remain the same? or will it not weigh anything at all? why?
b. how about its mass? will it increase, decrease or remain the same? why?

Explanation:

Question 9

Step1: Identify values

Mass \( m = 1 \, \text{kg} \), gravitational acceleration on Earth \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

Step2: Apply formula \( F_g = mg \)

Substitute values: \( F_g = 1 \times 9.8 = 9.8 \, \text{N} \).

Step1: Identify values

Mass \( m = 5 \, \text{kg} \), \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

Step2: Apply formula \( F_g = mg \)

Substitute: \( F_g = 5 \times 9.8 = 49 \, \text{N} \).

Step1: Identify values

Mass \( m = 1000 \, \text{kg} \), \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

Step2: Apply formula \( F_g = mg \)

Substitute: \( F_g = 1000 \times 9.8 = 9800 \, \text{N} \).

Answer:

\( 9.8 \, \text{N} \)
