Question

A car has a mass of 550 kg. What is the weight of the car?

Answer 1

1212.54 is what 550 kgs is equal to the weight of the car

Answer 2

Answer: The weight of the car is 5390 N

Explanation:

Weight is defined as the force exerted by the body on any surface. It is also defined as the product of mass of the body multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically,

$W=mg$

where,

W = weight of the car

m = mass of the car = 550 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = $9.8m/s^2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$W=550kg\times 9.8m/s^2=5390N$

Hence, the weight of the car is 5390 N
