What is the weight of a typical car on Earth if its mass is 770 kg?
Given the following :
Mass of car (m) = 770 kg
Weight of car on earth = W
Weight = mass(m) × acceleration due to gravity(a)
Acceleration due gravity on earth = 9.8m/s²
So,
Weight = 770kg × 9.8m/s²
Weight = 7546kgm/s² or 7,546 N
Explanation:
Weight Calculation:
To calculate the weight of a car on Earth, we use the formula:
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
Given that the mass of the car is 770 kg and the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s², we can substitute these values into the formula to find the weight:
Weight = 770 kg x 9.8 m/s²
Weight = 7,546 N
Therefore, the weight of a typical car with a mass of 770 kg on Earth is 7,546 Newtons.
