Weight = m (mass) * g (acceleration due to gravity)
g = 9.80 m/s^2
m = 2.5 kg = 2,500 g
Weight = 2,500 g * 9.80 m/s^2
Weight = 24,500 N
Convection occurs because the oceanic waters heat up becoming less dense. This water moves above the cooler water, and give off its heat to the surrounding environment. As it cools, it begins to sink, and the process begins again.
a star that suddenly increases greatly in brightness because of a catastrophic explosion that ejects most of its mass.
79 m/s I belive.
I hope I'm not incorrect!
