Question

1. how much mass, in kilograms, does a 50,000 - n truck have?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula

The formula for weight \(W = mg\), where \(W\) is weight (in newtons), \(m\) is mass (in kilograms), and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (\(g = 9.8\space m/s^{2}\) on Earth).

Step2: Solve for mass

Given \(W=50000\space N\) and \(g = 9.8\space m/s^{2}\), we can solve for \(m\) using the formula \(m=\frac{W}{g}\).
Substitute the values: \(m=\frac{50000}{9.8}\)
\(m\approx5102.04\space kg\)

Answer:

The mass of the truck is approximately \(5102.04\space kg\)
