Question

A car weighs 1323 N. what is its mass?

Answer 1

If the car is on the moon, its mass is about 817 kg.

If it's on the Earth, its mass is about 135 kg.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mass of the car, m = 135 kg

Explanation:

The weight of the car is 1323 N. Let m is its mass. The relation between the mass and weight comes form Newton's second law of motion. We know that the weight of an object is the force that is exerted due to acceleration due to gravity.

The mathematical form of weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is the acceleration due to gravity

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{1323\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}$

m = 135 kg

So, the mass of the car is 135 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
