At sea level a kilogram weighs approximately how much?

Answer 1

Weight is the product of the mass and the gravitational acceleration. At sea level gravity is 9.81 m/s2. Therefore the weight of a kilogram is 1 kg x 9.81 m/s2 = 9.81 kg m/s2 = 9.81 N.

Im sorry, I dont get it, please explain like you would to a grade-schooler, also how much in POUNDS?!

Answer 2

Kilogram-the standard unit of mass. A gram is a very small unit of mass. About 28 grams equal one ounce. A larger unit of mass i s the kilogram. A kilofram equals about two and one fifth punds and is the standard mass unit in the international system. One gram is one thousandth of a kilogram. A kilogram contains one thousand grams.

Once the unit of mass is defined, samples of matter can be compared to the unit and thus measured. Comparing a sample of matter to the standard unit of mass, or to its subdivision the gram, can be done on an equal - arm balance. When making this comparison, a sample of matter is placed on one pan of a balance. On the other pan are placed as many gram units or kilogram units as are necessary to create a balance. The mass of the sample is then the number of grams required to balance the sample on the equal arm balance. THis number would be the same for that sample at sea level, at three kilometers above sea level, or even at three thousand kilometers above sea level. This illustration shows anextremely important characteristic of mass. For a particular sample of matter, the mass does not vary.
