How much does a killogram weigh?

Answer 1

1 kilogram is 1000 grams.

1 kilogram is 2.2046226218487756 pounds.

The above answer is accurate, however, it should be explained that mass and "weight" are two different quantities. Mass is an inherent property of a particular body that does not change. Weight is the amount of force that the relevant gravitational force induces on a particular mass.

1kg weighs about 2.2 lbf on the surface of the Earth. On another planet, or at another distance from the center of the Earth, 1kg will have a different weight.

Answer

A kilogram weighs approximately 9.81 newtons at sea level.

Answer 2

A kilogram is a unit of mass, not weight. It is defined as the mass of a specific platinum-iridium alloy cylinder kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in France. On Earth, a kilogram weighs approximately 9.8 newtons due to gravity.

Answer 3

The kilogram is the SI unit of measurement of mass. Weight, on the other hand, is a force, and, so, is measured in newtons. Weight is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration due to gravity which, on Earth, is taken as being 9.81 m/s2 on average.

So, to answer your question properly, a mass of 1 kg weighs approximately 9.81 N on the surface of the earth -depending where, on Earth, it is being measured.

Answer 4

The MASS (which is measured in Kilograms) is the same anywhere, i.e it is 1kg on Earth or Neptune or Pluto..!

The WEIGHT (which is measured in Newtons) defers from planet to planet depending on the gravity force.

Weight of a 1 kg object on Earth=Mass x Gravity

=1kg x 10m/s^2

=10 Newtons

Answer 5

That depends on where it is.
For example:

-- On or near the surface of the Earth, 1 kilogram of mass weighs 9.8 newtons (2.205 pounds).

-- On or near the surface of the moon, the same kilogram weighs 1.6 newtons (5.8 ounces).

(all rounded)

Answer 6

1 kilogram of mass weighs about 2.204 pounds on earth.

In other places, its weight is different.

Answer 7

A kilogram of platinum weighs in at about 1000 grams.

Answer 8

A kilogram (kg) is a MEASURE of the weight of something. 1 kg of lead will weigh exactly 1 kg. 1 kg of feathers will weigh exactly 1 kg.

Answer 9

A kilogram IS a weight. This standard metric weight is equivalent to 2.27 pounds.

Answer 10

A kilogram is the weight of a liter of water at its maximum density observed at the average gravitational attraction at the surface of the Earth.
