"60 kg" is not a weight. It's a mass, and it's always the same
no matter where the object goes.
The weight of the object is
(mass) x (gravity in the place where the object is) .
On the surface of the Earth,
Weight = (60 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
= 588 Newtons.
Now, the force of gravity varies as the inverse of the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.
On the surface, the distance from the center of the Earth is 1R.
So if you move out to 5R from the center, the gravity out there is
(1R/5R)² = (1/5)² = 1/25 = 0.04 of its value on the surface.
The object's weight would also be 0.04 of its weight on the surface.
(0.04) x (588 Newtons) = 23.52 Newtons.
Again, the object's mass is still 60 kg out there.

If you have a textbook, or handout material, or a lesson DVD,
or a teacher, or an on-line unit, that says the object "weighs"
60 kilograms, then you should be raising a holy stink.
You are being planted with sloppy, inaccurate, misleading
information, and it's going to be YOUR problem to UN-learn it later.
They owe you better material.
Yes that's a true statement. That's why grandmother put a hot water bottle to warm up her bed, and not a hot bar of steel or lead.

When the experiment is replicated, this means the conduction of the second experiment, should be related, or similar, to your first results.
Answer:
(a) v = 3..6 m/s
(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.
Explanation:
from the question we have the following:
mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg
initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s
mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg
final velocity of the car (v) = ?
(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where
initial momentum = final momentum
Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V
24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v
96,000 = 27000v
v =3.6 m/s
(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.
