Did you know?

Did you know that you can calculate the weight of objects on Earth by using the formula weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity? For example, let's consider an object with a mass of 20 grams. Assuming the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately 10 m/s^2, or 10 N/kg, we can determine its weight. Using the formula weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity, we can plug in the values. The mass of the object is 20 grams, which converts to 0.02 kilograms (since 1 kilogram = 1000 grams). The acceleration due to gravity is 10 N/kg. Hence, the weight of the object is calculated as weight = 0.02 kg × 10 N/kg = 0.2 N. So, this object weighs approximately 0.2 Newtons on Earth. Newtons are commonly used to measure force, including weight.
