Question

Which of the following accurately shows how to calculate the weight of a 20kg object

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{20\ kg \cdot 9.8\ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

$\sf Weight \ (N)= mass \ (kg) \times acceleration \ of \ gravity \ (m/s^2)$

$W=mg$

The mass of the object is 20 kg.

The acceleration of gravity is approximately 10 m/s².

$W=20 \times 10$

$W=200$

The weight of the object is 200 N.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is "20kgx9.8m/s" because weight is the force an object is exerting on another object, and the formula used to calculate force is Force = Mass * Acceleration.
