Answer» QUESTION The weight of a BODY is 20 N. What is its mass? ANSWER mass= 2.04kg FORMULA USED
SOLUTION ⇒weight= mass x acceleration ∵ (taking GRAVITY as acceleration here) ⇒20N= mass x 9.8 ⇒mass= 20/9.8 ⇒mass= 2.04kg WEIGHT In SCIENCE and engineering, the weight of an object is the force acting on the object due to gravity. MASS IN physics, quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter. It is, in EFFECT, the resistance that a body of matter OFFERS to a change in its speed or position upon the application of a force. |
