There are more than 2,000 apple varieties and new varieties are becoming available each year, so not only would a true average have to be calculated for a large number of varieties, one would have to decide if the average was only to consider variety, or whether it would also consider the number of apples of each variety.
We can, however, get some idea of average mass by looking at a study from a 1995 Virginia Tech study (see link below). Listed below are average diameter in inches and average weight in pounds for those apples in the published study that gave both diameter and weight values. In some cases a range of values was given rather than a single number and in such cases, an average of that range is listed.

We next assume that the weight in pounds is very close to the pound-mass. Then from the table above we can conclude that the average mass of an apple will be about 0.2 kilograms.
What else can I help you with?
What is true about an objects weight but not about its mass?
An objects weight is the amount of the pull of gravity on an object. On the other hand, mass is the amount of matter in an object. You`re mass is the same on every planet. For example, lets say on earth you weighed 100 pounds. On Venus you would weigh the same. BUT, you`re weight is different on different planets. For example, on the moon, the amount of the pull of gravity on you would be different in a way that you would be 70% lighter. Hope that helps. Adios! And no, I am NOT Spanish.(False) It would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth.
Distinguish between the mass of an object and the object's weight?
The mass of an object is unchanging relative to the local gravity. The weight of an object is relative to the strength of the gravity in which it is weighed. The metric unit gram is a measure of mass. The English system unit a pound is a measure of weight. Something that has a mass of 1 kilogram on Earth has the same mass on the Moon, but two entirely different weights. On Earth, a 1 kilogram mass weighs approximately 2.2 pounds. On the Moon, where the gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth, the same 1 kilogram mass weighs only a little over 1/3 of a pound. A weight of an object is a consequence of its having a mass, in the presence of a gravitational field. A mass is a property of the object, won't change unless the integrity of the object is affected. Its weight, though, is a consequence of the object being nearby another (massive) object, in most contexts that will be the (surface of the) Earth. Say a bowling ball weights 3 kilograms. This a short for saying 'on the surface of the Earth, this bowling ball is atracted to the Earth with a force of 3 kilograms', or, more properly said, with a force equal to 3 x 9,8 Newton (Newton is the proper measuring unit for force). If that bowling ball was on the surface of the Moon, it would weight about 0,5 kilograms, one sixth more or less of its weight on the Earth. Yet, its mass would still be 3 kilograms. If you were to hang vertically (somehow) from a rope your bowling ball, so it stands still, the rope would have to be able to resist 3 kilos in the Earth, in the Moon a rope that can take 0,5 kg would be enough. But say you try to throw the ball away, doing it the way hammer throw athletes do in the Olympics, swinging it around you in circles, then releasing it. While you make it turn around you (horizontally), the tension in the rope depends on the speed at which you make it turn and *the mass* of the ball. If you make it turn at the same speed (with the same rope length), the tension on the rope will be same on Earth and on the Moon. But the distance your throwing attempt will reach would be different, since it depends on *the weight* of the ball. On the Moon, all being equal (speed in swinging the ball, length of the rope, angle of your throw), you would reach 6 times farther than in the Earth. Other experiments you might perform on the Moon or on the surface on other unknown space bodies, might involve measuring the period of oscillations of your bowling ball when attached to string, or playing 'pool' with another ball of known mass and measuring speeds and angles after and before their collision. This is because the physics principles involved in those experiments (preservation of energy, preservation of linear momentum, respectively), do involve the mass of the objects, not their weight.
What percentage of mass murderers are white males?
Approximately 56% of mass murderers in the United States are white males.
How many children are killed by mass shootings every year?
On average, approximately 30 children are killed in mass shootings in the United States each year. Mass shootings are defined as incidents where four or more people are killed by gunfire.
What is mass behavior sociology?
Mass behavior sociology is the study of how individuals within a large group or society behave and interact with each other. It explores patterns, influences, and reactions within mass gatherings, social movements, mob behavior, and collective actions. Mass behavior sociology aims to understand the dynamics of group behavior and its impact on social structures and institutions.
Why does an apple weigh 1 newton?
It's only a convenient way of remembering. An apple has a mass of about 0.1 kg and g is about 9.8 m/s/s. So F=mg. There ya' go!
How does one apple be the same as a newton?
around the same mass
What English scientist did an apple fall on his head and helped him to discover a physics law?
The apple didn't really hit on his head. Although it landed next to him and that's when he discover Gravity. The Gravitation of the apple but it happens to be its weight and mass
What does the apple have to do with gravity and the moon?
The story of the apple falling on Isaac Newton's head is a popularized version of the events that led him to develop his theory of gravity. Newton's law of universal gravitation describes the attraction between objects with mass, like the apple and Earth, and explains how the moon stays in orbit around Earth.
How many Newton's does a 10kg weigh?
On earth, 10 kg of mass weighs roughly 98 newtons.
Does a dime weigh 1 newton?
No. The mass of the US dime is 2.268 grams. On Earth, that mass weighs 0.0222 newton. (rounded) -- One pound of force is about 4.448 newtons. -- One newton is about 3.6 ounces of force. -- It would take 45 dimes to weigh 1 newton on Earth.
Weight and mass on other planets?
If you go to another planet, your mass will basically remain the same, but your weight will change, depending on the gravity.For example, if you have a mass of 100 kg. (that's overweight, but it simplifies calculations!), on Earth you would weigh 980 Newton. On the Moon, with less gravity, you would weigh about 160 Newton - but your mass would still be 100 kg.
Mass of 65kg who much does he weigh on earth?
Earth's gravity is about 9.8 meters per second square, or the equivalent 9.8 Newton per kilogram - so you just multiply the mass with 9.8. Weight will be in Newton.
How mucg does 1 gram weigh?
On earth, 1 gram of mass weighs 0.0098 newton (0.03527 ounce).
Would an apple weigh 200 grams or 200 kilograms?
The mass of an apple could be 200 grams, never 200 kilograms. An apple with 200 grams of mass would weigh 1.96 newtons (7.1 ounces) on Earth. If an astronaut carried the same 200 grams with him to a different place, it would have a different weight there.
What is the best estimate of the mass of an apple?
100g and if you notice it's the equal to 1 newton, see the apple connection there?
What metric unit should be used to measure how much you weigh?
The Newton. However, "weight" and "mass" are often confused; if you want a person's mass, that would be measured in kilograms.
