We Know, W=mg, m=W/g

2009 N / 9.8 N/Kg = 205 Kg.

Answer:

Mass of motorcycle = 205 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity,

That is

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity

Weight is represented by W, mass is represented by m and acceleration due to gravity is represented by g,

W = mg

Here weight of motorcycle is 2,009 newtons and acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 N/kg,

Substituting

W = mg

2009 = m x 9.8

m =205 kg

Mass of motorcycle = 205 kg
