Question

5. Whether you are standing, running or jumping Earth is exerting a gravitational force on you. This gravitational force is called an object's weight (W). Knowing this you can find the weight of an object if you know the mass because the acceleration will be 9.8 m/s2 due to gravities pull on the object. The equation to use then is: W = mass x acceleration. What is the weight of a 53 kg man?​

Answer 1

How we know, the equation is:

W = mg

Replacing according our data:

W = 53 kg × 9,8 m/s^2

Resolving:

W = 519,4 N

The weight of the object is of 519,4 Newtons.
