I believe the answer you are looking for is 1.4 N.

0.145*9.8=1.42

So you round 1.42 to 1.4

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Weight of the baseball, W = 1.421 N

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the baseball, m = 0.145 kg

The value of acceleration due to gravity,
g=9.8\ m/s^2

Let W is the weight of the baseball. We know that the weight of an object is equal to the force acting on it under the action of gravity. The relation is given by :


W=mg


W=0.145* 9.8

W = 1.421 N

So, the weight of the baseball is 1.421 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
