Question

Suppose it takes 600 N of force to keep a person from falling to the earth. What is the mass of this person in kilograms?

Note that g = standard acceleration of gravity = 9.80665 m/s*2

Answer 1

Answer:

N(ewtons) is a term in physics that represents weight =mass*gravity.

On earth, gravity is approximately 9.8 Newtons.

Mass is usually expressed in kg (kilograms)

So, you would set it up as:

600N = m*9.8N

m=600/9.8

m=61.22kg
