Answer : The weight of the car is 9800 N

Explanation :

It is given that,

The mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

We have to find the weight of the car. The weight of an object is defined as the force acting on it under the action of gravity. The mass of an object is the amount of matter present in it.

Using second law of motion :

W = m g

Where

m is the mass of the car

g is the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 N/kg

W = 1000 kg × 9.8 N/kg

W = 9800 N

So, the weight of the car is 9800 N.

Hence, this is the required solution.
