Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2
What is the weight of a 80.2 kg person on the surface of the Earth?
The weight of a person is equal to their mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
Weight = 80.2 kg x 9.8 m/s^2
Weight = 785.96 N
To find the weight of a person on the surface of the Earth, you can use the equation:
Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity
Let's plug in the given values:
Mass = 80.2 kg
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
Weight = 80.2 kg × 9.8 m/s^2
Calculating this:
Weight = 785.96 N
So, the weight of an 80.2 kg person on the surface of the Earth is approximately 786 Newtons.
