Question

my car, when fully loaded, has a mass of 1,375 kg. how much does it weigh?
a 1,375 n
b 13,475 n
c 140.3 n
d 9.8 n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall weight - mass formula

Weight $W = mg$, where $m$ is mass and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity ($g= 9.8\ m/s^{2}$).

Step2: Substitute values

Given $m = 1375\ kg$ and $g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}$, then $W=1375\times9.8$.
$W = 13475\ N$.

Answer:

B. 13,475 N
