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

Suppose 500 joules of work is done to push an object in 15 seconds. Find the power for this situation
ohaa [14]

Answer:

You have to calculate

Explanation:

Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object. The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d). A force of 10 newtons, that moves an object 3 meters, does 30 n-m of work.

What is the acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 550 N net force
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 550 N net force = 0.55 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given:

F = 550 N

m = 1000 kg

To Find:

a = ?

Solution:

So by the equation by Newton's 2nd Law of Motion,

F = m x a

550 N = 1000 kg x a

a = 550 N/ 1000 kg

a = 0.55 m/s^2

Therefore,

The acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 550 N net force = 0.55 m/s^2
