That's a formula that shows the relationship between three quantities ...
weight, mass, and acceleration. If you know any two of them, then you
can use this formula to find the one you don't know.
Examples:
==> I have a rock with 2 kilograms of mass.
The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s² .
How much does my rock weigh on Earth ?
Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)
= (2 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
= 19.6 newtons
(about 4.41 pounds)
==> My brother weighs 770 newtons (about 173 pounds) on Earth.
What is his mass ?
Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)
770 newtons = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)
Divide each side
by 9.8 m/s²: 770 newtons / 9.8 m/s² = mass
78.57 kilograms = mass
==> When I went to the Moon, I took along my 2-kilogram rock.
I weighed my rock on the Moon.
It weighs 3.25 newtons (about 0.73 pound) there.
What is the gravitational acceleration on the Moon ?
Weight = (mass) x (grav acceleration)
3.25 newtons = (2 kg) x (acceleration)
Divide each side
by 2 kilograms: (3.25 newtons)/(2 kg) = acceleration
1.63 m/s² = grav acceleration on the Moon
A baseball traveling at 100 mph has more kinetic energy than a baseball traveling at 50 mph because the kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity. Since the baseballs should have the same mass, the velocity is what will determine which ball has more kinetic energy. Since the 100 mph baseball has a higher velocity than the 50 mph baseball, it has more kinetic energy.
