An orange weighs about 1N.What is the mass of the orange in grams?
Answers
Answer:
mass of the orange is 0.001g
Step-by-step explanation:
given: w= 1N
to find : mass 'm' in grams
solution:
w= mg = 1
(since g= 10m|s)
m(10) = 1
m = 1 ÷ 10
m= 0.1 kg
m= 0.001 grames
The mass of the orange is 100 grams.
GIVEN
An orange weighs about 1N.
TO FIND
The mass of the orange in grams
SOLUTION
We can simply solve the above problem as follows;
We know that the weight of an object is defined as the force acting on it due to gravity.
It is represented by the formula;
W = mg
Where,
W = Weight of the object.
m = mass of the object.
g = Acceleration due to gravity.
Putting the values in the above formula we get.;
1 = m × 9.8
m = 1/9.8 = 0.1 kg
Converting the value in grams
1 kg = 10000 grams
0.1 kg = 100 grams.
Hence, The mass of the orange is 100 grams.
