your mother

Explanation:

The logical answer would be your mother because 9.8m/s^2 x 55 would equal your mother weight, 539 squared pounds.

Answer:

The weight of an object is the force of gravity exerted on that object. The mass of an object is the amount of matter it has, and it stays the same wherever you are, regardless of gravity.[1] That's why an object that has 20 kilograms of mass on earth also has 20 kilograms of mass while on the moon, even though it would only weigh 1/6 as much. It weighs 1/6 as much on the moon because the force of gravity on the moon is 1/6 of what it is on Earth.
