We know that 20 m/s N is a vector quantity because N in the expression signifies the direction

<h3>What is a vector quantity?</h3>

This is a which have both magnitude and direction. Example include:

  • Velocity
  • Displacement
  • Force
  • Acceleration
  • Moment
  • Weight

<h3>How to determine whether 20 m/s N is a vector quantity</h3>
  • 20 m/s indicates just the speed i.e magnitude
  • 20 m/s N indicates the speed i.e magnitude why the N indicates the direction.

Thus, we can conclude that 20 m/s N is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

A man has a mass of 110kg. What is his weight?
Stells [14]

His weight depends on where he is, because

Weight = (mass) x (gravity in the place where the mass is) .

For example:

-- If this man is on Mars, his weight is (110 kg) x (3.7 m/s²) =  408 Newtons

-- If he is on the Moon, his weight is (110 kg) x (1.6 m/s²) =  176 Newtons

-- If he is on Earth, his weight is (110 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) =  1,078 Newtons

-- If he is in a spacecraft coasting from one to another, his weight is zero.
