Calculate the weight of the rocks in the photo. The measurement from the scale is given in the caption. (textbook page 8 picture next to question 7) This is what it says on caption: m=0.5 kg Formula: F= m x a force (F), mass (m), acceleration (a) Formula: F= kg x 9.8 m/s^2 F= kg x m/s^2 Type your answer

The correct answer is - 4.9 kg x m/s^2.

Explanation:

The weight of any object is the mass of the object in specific gravity applied to the object. It can be represented by the F=ma where F is the force applied on the earth by the gravity (a) and mass of the object (m).

Solution:

F = ma

F = 0.5*9.8 kg x m/s^2.

  = 4.9 kg x m/s^2.
