Type the correct answer in the box.

A car has a mass of 1,000 kilograms. The weight of the car is [tex]\square[/tex] newtons. Use [tex]g=9.8 \, \text{N} / \text{kg}[/tex] for gravity.



Answer :

To find the weight of the car, we need to use the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Weight} = \text{mass} \times \text{acceleration due to gravity} \][/tex]

Given:
- The mass of the car is [tex]\( 1{,}000 \)[/tex] kilograms.
- The acceleration due to gravity ([tex]\( g \)[/tex]) is [tex]\( 9.8 \)[/tex] N/kg.

Substituting the given values into the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Weight} = 1{,}000 \, \text{kg} \times 9.8 \, \text{N/kg} = 9{,}800 \, \text{N} \][/tex]

Thus, the weight of the car is [tex]\( 9{,}800 \)[/tex] newtons.
