According to Newton's second law of motion, force can be calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its acceleration. If weight is a measure of an object's force due to gravity, what is the weight of a student who has a mass of 65 kg? (Assume that the acceleration due to gravity equals 9.8 m/s2.)

You would do m*a so 65kg * 9.8 m/s^2 which equates to 637 Newton’s
