Understanding the Concepts
* Weight: The force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Measured in Newtons (N).
* Mass: The amount of matter in an object. Measured in kilograms (kg).
* Acceleration due to gravity (g): Approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth.
Formula
Weight (W) = Mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g)
Solving for Mass
1. Rearrange the formula: m = W / g
2. Plug in the values: m = 94 N / 9.8 m/s²
3. Calculate: m ≈ 9.6 kg
Therefore, the mass of the rock is approximately 9.6 kilograms.
