710kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of race car = 6958N

Unknown:

Mass of the race car = ?

Solution:

The weight of a body is the force of gravity acting on that body. It is mathematically expressed as:

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

6958 = mass x 9.8

mass = 710kg
