Question

1. a frozen turkey bought in canada is labeled “5.0 kilograms.” this is a measurement of its mass. what is its weight in newtons?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for weight

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

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(m = 5.0\ kg\) and \(g=9.8\ m/s^{2}\). Then \(W=(5.0\ kg)\times(9.8\ m/s^{2})\).

Step3: Calculate the weight

\(W = 49\ N\)

Answer:

\(49\ N\)
