Question

    What is the gravitational force on an object of mass 5

    kg on Earth?
    A 49 N Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 45 N Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 50 N Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 55 N Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The gravitational force (weight) is calculated as mass × acceleration due to gravity.  On Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²,  so weight = 5 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 49 N.
