Question

What is the mass(M) of a 330 N television? gon earth is = 9.8 m/s2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, it depends...

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is given by the formula,

W

=

m

g

W

is the weight of the object in newtons

m

is the mass of the object in kilograms

g

is the gravitational acceleration

On Earth,

g

=

9.8

m/s

2

. So, the object's weight on Earth will be:

W

=

50

kg

⋅

9.8

m/s

2

=

490

N

Can you tell what the object's weight will be on another planet, such as Mars?

Answer 2

Answer: 34 kilograms (approximate)

==================================

Work Shown:

F = m*g

330 newtons = (m kg)*(9.8 m/s^2)

330 = m*9.8

330/9.8 = m

m = 33.673469387755

m = 34 kilograms

I'm rounding to 2 significant figures because 330 has 2 sig figs and 9.8 has 2 sig figs. When dividing we pick the smaller of the sig fig count to determine how many sig figs to round to.
