Question

what is the weight of an object that has a mass of 50 kg? (hint: weight is a force )
4.9 n
50 n
490 n
500 n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for weight

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

Step2: Substitute the values

Given \(m = 50\ kg\) and \(g=9.8\ m/s^{2}\), then \(W=50\times9.8\).
