What is the mass of an object with a weight of 150 Newtons on Earth? The force of gravity on Earth is 9.81 m/s2
Weight = Mass x Gravity
a
130 kg
b
15 kg
c
1500 kg
d
1.5 kg
The correct answer is option b) 15 kg.
To calculate the mass, we rearrange the formula:
Weight = Mass x Gravity
Mass = Weight / Gravity
Plugging in the values:
Mass = 150 N / 9.81 m/s^2
Mass = 15.29 kg
Therefore, the mass of the object is 15 kg (rounded to two decimal places).
