Answer and Explanation:

The estimation of the mass of the objects is as follows

Given that

The mass of an apple is about 100 g

Just like that, we do some estimation of different objects

A dime is around 1 g

A smartphone is about 100 g

An adult male is approx 100 kg

A college physics textbook is around 1 kg

A ripe banana is around 100 g

A small car is around 1,000 kg

It is always a good idea to get some sense of the "size" of units. For example-example-1
