Answer 1

QUESTION

The weight of a body is 20 N. What is its mass?​

ANSWER mass= 2.04kg

FORMULA USED

• weight= mass x acceleration

SOLUTION

⇒weight= mass x acceleration         ∵   (taking gravity as acceleration here)

⇒20N= mass x 9.8

⇒mass= 20/9.8

⇒mass= 2.04kg

WEIGHT

In science and engineering, the weight of an object is the force acting on the object due to gravity.

MASS

IN physics, quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter. It is, in effect, the resistance that a body of matter offers to a change in its speed or position upon the application of a force.
