How do you find weight =mass×gravitational acceleration

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

Starting from rest, a dragster travels a straight 1/4 mi racetrack in 7.10 s with constant acceleration. What is its velocity wh
Gennadij [26K]

268.6567 mph  is its velocity when it crosses the finish line

d=(v1+v2 /2) x t

.25=(0+v2 /2) x 6.7/3600 hours

900=v2/2 x 6.7

v2=268.6567 mph as the speed with which the dragster crosses the finish

<h3>When acceleration is not zero, can speed remain constant?</h3>

The answer is that an accelerated motion can have a constant speed. Consider a particle travelling uniformly around a circle; it experiences acceleration since the motion's direction is changing, but it maintains a constant speed along the tangential axis throughout the motion.

Acceleration is the frequency of a change in velocity. Acceleration is a vector with magnitude and direction, much as velocity. For instance, if a car is moving in a straight path and speeding up, it is said to have forward (positive) acceleration, and if it is slowing down, it is said to have backward (negative) acceleration.
