If my weight on Earth is 140lbs, what is my mass?

Physics
1 answer:
SashulF [63]3 years ago

Answer:

63.57 kg

Explanation:

weight = 140 lbs

Let the mass  is m.

1 lbs = 4.45 N

The weight of an object is defined as the force with which our earth attracts the body towards its centre.

Weight is the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.

W = m x g

On earth surface g = 9.8 m/s^2

Now convert lbs in newton

So, 140 lbs = 140 x 4.45 = 623 N

So, m x 9.8 = 623

m = 63.57 kg

Thus, the mass is 63.57 kg.

Which object has more gravitational potential energy? Use PE = m × g × h, where g = 9.8 meters/second2.
Andrew [12]
Gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula <span>PE = m × g × h, where g is the gravitational acceleration and is constant hence the energy is dependent directly to mass and the height of the object. Hence more PE is registered when the object is heavier and/or at greater initial height. </span>

<span>3 Gravitational energy is stored by moving something (ball or pendulum are both examples of this) against a gravity gradient (lifting an object) that wants to fall back down. </span>
