The gravitational acceleration on Earth is \(9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\). What is the weight of a car on Earth (to the nearest whole number) if it has a mass of 1360 kg?

A. 14 N
B. 139 N
C. 1333 N
D. 13,328 N

Answer :

Weight = (mass) x (gravitational acceleration where the mass is)

Weight = (1360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

Weight = 13,328 kg-m/s²

That's 13,328 Newtons

Given:-

  • Mass (m) of the car = 1360 kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

To Find: Weight (W).

We know,

W = mg

where,

  • W = Weight,
  • m = Mass &
  • g = Acceleration due to gravity.

Thus,

W = (1360 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

→ W = 13,328 N (D)
