Question

mass of an object is 10 kg .what is its weight on the earth?​

Answer 1

Answer:

100 N

Explanation:

Mass is more fundamental because it is an intrinsic property of an object. Weight varies with location depending upon the acceleration due to gravity eg. for a mass m = 10kg on Earth it`s weight is W = mg = 10 x 10 = 100N. However, in space where g = 0m/s2 this objects weight is W = mg = 10 x 0 = 0N whereas its mass still remains 10kg.

Answer 2

Answer:

weight on earth = 98 N

Explanation:

mass of object (m) = 10kg

the earth attracts objects to it i.e. gravity

the value of acceleration caused by gravity is 9.8 m/s^2

F = mass x acceleration

since weight is basically the force with which a body is attracted to the earth,

weight = mass of object (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g)

----> .: weight (W) = 10 × 9.8 = 98N

There, hope it helped :)
