what is the mass of an object with a weight of 120 newtons on earth? the force of gravity on earth is 9.81 m/s^2. Weight=mass x gravity
A)0.082 kg
B)1177 kg
C)130 kg
D)12 kg
The weight of an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the force of gravity.
Weight = mass x gravity
To solve for the mass, we can rearrange the formula:
mass = weight / gravity
mass = 120 N / 9.81 m/s^2
mass ≈ 12.24 kg
Therefore, the mass of the object is approximately 12 kg.
