what is the weight, on earth, of a book with a mass of 1.5 kg?\n1.5 n\n6.5 n\n11.3 n\n14.7 n
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall weight - mass formula
Weight $W = mg$, where $m$ is mass and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity on Earth ($g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}$).
Step2: Substitute values
Given $m = 1.5\ kg$ and $g=9.8\ m/s^{2}$, then $W=1.5\times9.8$. $W = 14.7\ N$
Answer:
D. 14.7 N
