Question

Which of the following accurately shows how to calculate the weight of a 20kg object

20kgx9.8m/s
20kg/mass of the earth
20kg/9.8m/s
20kgxmass of the earth

Answer 1

`\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{20\ kg \cdot 9.8\ m/s^2}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

`\sf Weight \ (N)= mass \ (kg) * acceleration \ of \ gravity \ (m/s^2)`

`W=mg`

The mass of the object is 20 kg.

The acceleration of gravity is approximately 10 m/s².

`W=20 * 10`

`W=200`

The weight of the object is 200 N.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is "20kgx9.8m/s" because weight is the force an object is exerting on another object, and the formula used to calculate force is Force = Mass * Acceleration.
