Question

An object has a mass of 2,000kg. what is its weight on earth? show your work​

Answer 1

F=m*g is the formula and the answer is 19,620 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the formula is F=m*g and Earth's gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 all you need to do is multiply 2,000 by 9.81

Answer 2

`20,000\:\mathrm{N}`

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is equal to the force of gravity on that object.

We can use the following equation to determine the force of gravity on an object:

`F_g=ma_g=mg`, where
`m` is the mass of the object and
`g` is acceleration due to gravity (
`9.81\: \mathrm{m/s}`).

Solving, we get:
`F_g=2,000\cdot9.81=19,620=\fbox{$20,000\:\mathrm{N}$}` (one significant figure).
