Question

What is the approximate weight of a 20-kg cannonball on Earth? 2 N 20 N 196 N 1,960 N

Answer 1

Since weight is the force an object is exerting on another object, and the formula to calculate force is Force = Mass * Acceleration, the answer to your question is 196 N, since the mass of the cannonball times Earth's gravitational pull equals 196 N.

Answer 2

Weight of the cannonball, W = 196 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the cannonball, m = 20 kg

We need to find its weight on earth. The weight of an object on the earth can be calculated by the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity as :

`W=m* g`

`W=20* 9.8`

W = 196 N

So, the weight of the cannonball on the Earth's surface is 196 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
