Question

If a dog has a mass of 2.5 kg, what is its weight and what is the normal force that it feels. I

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight = normal force = 24.5 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a dog, m = 2.5 kg

We need to find its weight and the normal force that it feels.

The weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity

$W=2.5\times 9.8\\\\=24.5\ N$

The normal force is balanced by the weight of an object. So,

Weight = normal force = 24.5 N
