What is the mass of a child if the force of gravity on the child's body is 100 N?


A. 9.8 kg
B. 4.45 kg
C. 22.5 kg
D. 10.2 kg

what?

F=m*g

F/g=m
100/9.8=10.2 kg

thank you kind sir

To determine the mass of the child, we can use the formula F = m * g, where F is the force of gravity, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth).

In this case, the force of gravity on the child's body is given as 100 N.

So, we can rearrange the formula to solve for mass (m = F/g):

mass = 100 N / 9.8 m/s^2

Calculating this, we get:

mass ≈ 10.2 kg

Therefore, the answer is D. 10.2 kg.
