What is the weight of a 980 kg object on Earth?

Asked by miabella4224

Answer (3)

Weight = (M) x (Gravity)
On or near the surface of Earth, the acceleration of Gravity is about 9.8 meters per second-squared.
Weight = (980) x (9.8) = 9,604 kg-m/second-squared = 9,604 newtons
That's about 2,161 pounds.

The weight of gravity on earth is calculated by multiplying the mass (in kg) by 9.81 (the acceleration due to gravity on earth). So in your case, it would be 980x9.81= 9613.8. The answer is in newtons (N) The formula is Fg=MxA (where A is the acceleration)

The weight of a 980 kg object on Earth is calculated using the formula W = m g , resulting in a weight of 9604 newtons. Weight varies with different gravitational forces on other celestial bodies. This calculation is essential for understanding the effects of gravity on objects.
