Answer:

250 Newtons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is a force and the Second Law of Newton can be used to figure out the Force ( weight) of this mass. Since F = ma, and 'a' on Earth is the acceleration due to freefall at 10 m/s^2 ( really 9.8 m/s^2- so your teacher may want your answer as 245 N), you multiply your mass ( 25g ) and your acceleration on Earth and you get 250 N.
