Answer:

294

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for weight: W = m × g.

Substitute m = 30 kg and g = 9.8 N/kg into the formula. Then multiply:

W = 30 kg × 9.8 N/kg

= 294 N

Kenna weighs 294 newtons.

Given:
m = 30 kg, mass
g = 9.8 N/kg, acceleratin due to gravity.

By definition, the force (or weight) due to a mass of 30 kg is
W = mg = (30 kg)*(9.8 N/kg) = 294 N

Answer: 294 N
