Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!! I CANNOT RETAKE THIS!!

What is the weight of a ring tailed lemur that has a mass of 10 kg? Use w = mg (g = -9.8 m/s^2)

Answer 1

98 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of an object is given by:

`W=mg`

where

m is the mass of the object

`g=9.8 m/s^2` is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, the mass of the lemur is m=10 kg, so its weight is

`W=mg=(10 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=98 N`
