What is the weight of a rock with a mass of 5.0 Kg?

Answer 1

It is difficult to convert mass measurements to weight. The reason for this is that weight changes with varying altitudes. Mass does not. A person may 100lbs at sea level, but that same person may weigh 105 at a higher elevation point, but their mass would always be constant.

Answer 2

This depends on where you are in the universe. Mass measures the amount of matter that an object is made up of, while its weight is a measure of how strongly gravity is pulling on it. Here on earth, that object would weigh 11.023 pounds. But somewhere else (say on the moon) it would be different because the gravitational pull on the object would be weaker.

Answer 3

Weight = M G

M = mass of the object

G = acceleration of gravity where the object is. 'G' is roughly 9.8 meters/sec2 on earth.


Weight = (5) x (9.8) = 49 newtons.

Answer 4

5 kg of water at the surface of the earth is 5 kg weight and 5 kg. mass. In pounds this is 11 lb. The weight will vary with height on earth and would be different on other moons or planets, but the mass would stay the same

Answer 5

Force = Mass * Gravitational Force per Unit Mass

Force = 5 * 10

Force = 50 N

Answer 6

5 X 9.86 49.3

Answer 7

49 N
