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

Given:-

• Mass (m) of the car = 1360 kg
• Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

To Find: Weight (W).

We know,

W = mg

where,

• W = Weight,
• m = Mass &
• g = Acceleration due to gravity.

Thus,

W = (1360 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

→ W = 13,328 N (D)

Answer 2

Weight = (mass) x (gravitational acceleration where the mass is)

Weight = (1360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

Weight = 13,328 kg-m/s²

That's 13,328 Newtons
