Question

What is the weight of each of the following objects? A. 0.113 kg hockey puck B. 108 Kg football player C. 870kg automobile

Answer 1

See answers below

Explanation:

Given: `A = 0.113 kg` hockey puck, `B = 108 kg` football player and `C = 870 kg` automobile

`1` Newton = `1 N = 1 (kg*m)/s^2`

`W = mg`; where `m =`mass, `g = 9.8 m/s^2`

`A. W = 0.113 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 1.074 (kg*m)/s^2 = 1.074` N

`B. W = 108 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 1058.4` N

`C. W = 870 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 8526` N
