Question
The weight of an object of mass 2 kg at a point on the earth’s surface when the gravitational field is 10 N/kg is:a.5 Nb.0.2 Nc.20 kgd.20 NClear my choice
Solution
The weight of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass by the gravitational field strength. In this case, the object has a mass of 2 kg and the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg.
So, the weight of the object is 2 kg * 10 N/kg = 20 N.
Therefore, the correct answer is d. 20 N.
