Question

If a dog has a mass of 2.5 kg, what is its weight and what is the normal force that it feels.

I

Answer 1

Weight = normal force = 24.5 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a dog, m = 2.5 kg

We need to find its weight and the normal force that it feels.

The weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity

`W=2.5* 9.8\\\\=24.5\ N`

The normal force is balanced by the weight of an object. So,

Weight = normal force = 24.5 N
