A=5m/s
F=15N
by the formula, F = m × a
15N = m × 5m/s
m = \frac{15}{5} 
             
By simplification(division), 
m = 3
Thus, mass of the Encyclopedia will be 3kgs.

All the Best. :D

The magnitude of the gravitational field strength near Earth's surface is represented by
Zanzabum

Answer:

The magnitude of the gravitational field strength near Earth's surface is represented by approximately 9.82\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

Explanation:

Let be M and m the masses of the planet and a person standing on the surface of the planet, so that M >> m. The attraction force between the planet and the person is represented by the Newton's Law of Gravitation:

F = G\cdot \frac{M\cdot m}{r^{2}}

Where:

M - Mass of the planet Earth, measured in kilograms.

m - Mass of the person, measured in kilograms.

r - Radius of the Earth, measured in meters.

G - Gravitational constant, measured in \frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}.

But also, the magnitude of the gravitational field is given by the definition of weight, that is:

F = m \cdot g

Where:

m - Mass of the person, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravity constant, measured in meters per square second.

After comparing this expression with the first one, the following equivalence is found:

g = \frac{G\cdot M}{r^{2}}

Given that G = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}, M = 5.972 \times 10^{24}\,kg and r = 6.371 \times 10^{6}\,m, the magnitude of the gravitational field near Earth's surface is:

g = \frac{\left(6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}} \right)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)}{(6.371\times 10^{6}\,m)^{2}}

g \approx 9.82\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The magnitude of the gravitational field strength near Earth's surface is represented by approximately 9.82\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

I think the gravity doesn't affect the mass of an object. Only it's weight can be compared

Which of the following is a characteristic of a mixture
BARSIC [14]
I believe you forgot to add the choices. I will tell you some of the characteristics of mixtures and I hope you find one of them in the choices you have.

A mixture is a physical combination between two or more elements. No chemical reaction is involved in the formation of mixtures.
The components of the mixture can be separated using physical methods such as filtration, boiling and condensation.
Examples of mixtures include mixture of sugar and water or mixture of salt and sugar.
