To calculate the weight of an object on Earth, we need to consider the force of gravity acting on it. The weight of an object is given by the formula:
Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared (9.8 m/s^2). Therefore, we can calculate the weight of the astronaut by multiplying her mass by the acceleration due to gravity:
Weight = 60 kg x 9.8 m/s^2
Weight ≈ 588 Newtons
So, the weight of the astronaut on Earth is approximately 588 Newtons.
weight = mg
what is g? Now do the math. weight is measured in Newtons (N).
