Question

What is the weight of a dog with a mass of 12 kg? Explain how you obtained your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:117.6N

Explanation:

Mass=12kg

Acceleration due to gravity=9.8m/s^2

weight=mass x acceleration due to gravity

Weight=12 x 9.8

Weight=117.6N

Answer 2

Answer: 117.60N

Explanation:

Weight is a force. Therefore, we can use the force formula to find weight.

$Formula: W=m*g$

W = weight

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity ($9.8m/s^2$)

$W=(12kg)(9.8m/s^2)\\W=117.60N$
