The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.80 m/s2. If the mass of a dog is 40.0 kg, what is the weight of the dog?
W=mg
To calculate the weight of an object, you can use the formula: weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
In this case, the mass of the dog is given as 40.0 kg, and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.80 m/s^2.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
weight = 40.0 kg × 9.80 m/s^2
Now, let's calculate it:
weight = 392.0 N
Therefore, the weight of the dog is 392.0 Newtons.
