Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: 5.1 Mass, Weight, and Gravity
- The weight equation is W = mg, where W is weight in newtons, m is mass in kilograms, and g is the strength of gravity in N/kg.
- To find the weight of the 5.0-kg backpack on Earth, substitute m = 5.0 kg and g = 9.8 N/kg into the equation: W = (5.0 kg)(9.8 N/kg) = 49 N.
- To find the strength of gravity on the moon given that the same backpack weighs 8.2 N there, rearrange the equation to solve for g: g = W/m.
- Substitute W = 8.2 N and m = 5.0 kg: g = 8.2 N / 5.0 kg = 1.6 N/kg.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of weight vs mass worksheet.
