Question

Jody has a mass of 50 kilograms what is his weight on earth

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight of body = 490 Newton

Explanation:

Mass of the body is the total amount of matter contained in the body but Weight of the body is the force exerted by gravity on the body. Weight of the body depends upon acceleration due to gravity of the planet.

Thus,

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = mg

W = weight of the body

m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

W = 50 × 9.8

W = 490 $\frac{kg m}{s^{2}}$

W = 490 Newton

Hence, weight of the body is 490 Newton.

Answer 2

50x9.7(gravity on earth)=485
