You would get a wrong calculaton which if you are doing an experiment it can mess with the results
Units of force are the newton pound.
Answer:
Explanation:
Weight is actually a force. A force can change depending on its location. A mass remains constant no matter where it is.
A)
F = m * a
m = 250 kg
a = 9.81 m/s^2
F = 250 * 9.81 = 2452.5 N
B)
The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 what it is on earth. You can check its value in your notes.
a = 9.81 + (1/6) = 1.635
m = 250
F = 250 * 1.635
F = 408.75
C)
The mass is the same anywhere in the universe.
250 kg
