Question

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.80 m/s2. If the mass of a honeybee is 0.000100 kilograms, what is the weight of this insect?

Answer 1

Weight = mg 
here m = 0.000100 g = 9.80 
hence weight = 0.00980 kgm/s2

Answer 2

Answer:

0.00098 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is given by:

$W=mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational acceleration on the planet

In this problem, we have:

$m=0.0001 kg$ is the mass of the honeybee

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Substituting into the equation, we find:

$W=mg=(0.0001 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=0.00098 N$
