Object has a massive 20 KG on a planet, with a force of gravity of 4 m/s^2 . What is the object weight? ** Remember** W=mg
A)200 N
B)0.2 N
C)5 N
D)80 N
To calculate the weight of the object, we use the formula W = mg, where W is the weight, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Given that the mass of the object is 20 kg and the acceleration due to gravity is 4 m/s^2, we can substitute these values into the formula: W = (20 kg)(4 m/s^2)
W = 80 kg*m/s^2
Since the unit for weight is Newton (N), we can express the weight as W = 80 N.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 80 N.
