In a lab, the mass of object a is 52 kg. object a weighs

Answer 1

Complete Question:

In a lab, the mass of object A is 52 kg. What does Object A weigh?

Answer:

weight = 509.6 Newton

Explanation:

The mass of an object is a scalar quantity. This is the amount of matter present in an object. Mass is measured by using a balance. The mass of an object does not change. it is the same for a particular object anywhere. The S.I unit for mass is kilograms . It can also be measured in grams too.

The weight of an object is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction .The weight of an object is the force acting on it. The force might be due to gravity or a reaction force.  The S.I unit for weight is Newton. The weight is measured on a scale. The weight of an object can change with location.

The measured mass of object A is 52 kg . The weight can be computed as

weight = mass × gravitational acceleration

mass = 52 kg

gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

Weight = 52 × 9.8

weight = 509.6 Newton

Answer 2

If you are asking for the weight then the formula is F=mg where f is weight m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity.m=52kg and g=9.8m/s2(the gravity of earth)
F=52*9.8=509.6
therefore the weight of the object is 509.6N
