Question

The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9. 8 m/s2. What is the weight of a car on Earth (to the nearest whole number) if it has a mass of 1360 kg? 14 N 139 N 1333 N 13,328 N.

Answer 1

Hi there!

Recall the equation for weight.

`W = Mg`

W = Weight (N)

M = Mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

The weight of an object depends upon its MASS and the strength of the GRAVITATIONAL field. We can solve for weight:

`W = 1360 * 9.8 = \boxed{13,328 N}`
