What it the weight of a rock that has a mass or 5.0 kg?
On earth, 5 kg of mass weighs 49 newtons (11 pounds) at sea level. Less as rises above or sinks below the surface.
How much weight in 5 kilograms?
Since kilograms is a measure of mass and weight is a force, we need to use the relation F=MA to determine the amount of weight exerted by 5 kg of mass. On Earth, gravitational accleration is roughly constant because most points on the surface are about the same distance from the Earth's center of gravity (The earth is a sphere). This acceleration is approximately 9.8 m/s². Multiplying mass (5 kg) and acceleration (9.8 m/s²), we get 9.8*5=49, and our units are kg*m/s², also known as Newtons (N), which is the metric unit of weight. Answer: 49 N
Is Weight is the measure of force and mass?
Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull for a mass , such that a mass of 1 Kg is having a weight of 10 Newton . So weight is a downward force measured in Newtons . Weight ( in N ) = Mass ( in Kg ) × Gravity ( usually 10N/Kg )
If a student had a mass of 195 kg what was his weight?
If a student had a mass of 195 kg, then his weight on earth was 1,911 newtons, or about 430 pounds.
Is mass and weight mesured in kg?
No. Mass is measured in kilograms. Weight is measured in Newtons.
