A. What is the mass of a book that weighs 3.20 N in the laboratory?
B.In the same lab, what is the weight of a dog whose mass is 14.0 kg?
To find the mass of an object, you can use the formula:
Weight = mass * gravitational acceleration
Where weight is measured in Newtons (N), mass is measured in kilograms (kg), and the gravitational acceleration on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
A. To find the mass of the book that weighs 3.20 N in the laboratory, you need to rearrange the formula:
Mass = Weight / gravitational acceleration
Substituting the given values, you have:
Mass = 3.20 N / 9.8 m/s^2
After performing the calculation, you will find the mass of the book in kilograms.
B. To find the weight of a dog whose mass is 14.0 kg in the same lab, you can use the same formula, but rearrange it to solve for weight:
Weight = mass * gravitational acceleration
Substituting the given values, you have:
Weight = 14.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2
After performing the calculation, you will find the weight of the dog in Newtons.
